REFLECTOR: nose gear air seal

[Michael Watson]

Mike,
Looking at the nose from the front, my right gear door has an overlap
of 5/16 on the outer edge, the left do not. The doors are adjusted so
that the left door closes a fraction of a second before the right door.

After closing, the right door overlap lip is pushed tightly against the
left by the winds pressure. While flying in the New York winters, I
never had any problems with cold wind coming in.

I tried to post a picture but it got bounced.
