REFLECTOR: Nose Gear Doors

[Richard J. Gentil]

Ron,

I am using a modified version of Ken Mishler's mechanical nose gear door system. It is worth looking in to since it has a mechanical over center to lock the gear doors open. 
Well worth a look.

> I’ve seen a nose gear door system on a Stagger EZ that utilizes a spring that spans the nose gear doors in the open position to hold them open. When the gear retracts, the nose gear strut picks up the spring and pulls the doors shut as it retracts into the wheel well. The doors are hinged. Seems like a real simple system, no hydraulics for the gear doors. Does anyone know if this system will work with the Velocity nose gear doors? Thanks, Ron Stacey XLRG5
