Depends on the jet. Example Boomarang maybe nothing, a F-18 type jet,,you better land .

If you have the MasterCrafter, Kelly Rohrbach, put the doors and hinges on your BVM F-100D, NOTHING, NADA.......If Un-MasterCrafter, Cheapo FumbleThumbs, put them on, KISS THEM ADIOS, AMIGO and hope you are not over a 40 acre woods or cornfield....

Hi

It depends on the jet, gear doors size and orientation, etc.

What I can tell you from my personal experience is that it is far better to deply a gear at high speed then hitting the gear to deploy it and land with gear up (tell me how I know it in a F18)

For me it is far more of a concern that with a relatively fast leak, the doors open and the gear deploys without locking and then no more air to lock the gear. Well, you'd have to be really unlucky, but either way after a belly land with my F18, Ihave tams gear in F18 and F4.

Also, a while I started a thread because I still had a problem when connecting a 6014 rx. Sometimes the gear goes up in the ground and I guess this as to do with the rx searching for the tx to lock. there is a miliseconds time while the rx locks and the gear as no signal, making the jetronics valve to reverse[:@]

I have tried to reverse the air lines and reprogram the valve and same thing happened.

Twice on an L-39 at a speed well above what I would normally deploy at.  Annoyed to see it happen, very glad when all I had to do was taxi back.
