I used to ue a UP valve and found it was a bit fiddly to set up, but once it was set up itworked fine.

Hi Roger,
can you share with us the best way to setup the UP valve? is there a danger while setting it up that the doors close too soon and get damaged by the retract when coming down?
thanks,
V.
Hi Vasek
The only issue I had with the UP value was getting the retracts to move nice and slow. I probably should have left it at the factory setting as Jon said, instead of tinkering with it, but I like my gear to operate slow rather then slam/slam. The vlave has tiny little fiddly adjusters to control the airflow, (like restrictors), and these took a bit of time to get right.
If I set he gear up speed too slow, the doors would sometimes close early and colide with the wheel/leg, but once I got the speed right, no problem, and never had a wheels up landing due to that valve.
I think they are good valves.
