Okay guys, can we stand another question/problem with the tailwheel gear doors?????

I monkeyed around with it when I changed out the airlines and did the leak check, I knew it was tight as has been mentioned but figured I'd adopt one of the fixes already engineered by several folks here.

I put the wing on it the other night for the first time and the landing gear ops check was less than I'd hoped for since I was setup with a bit more speed than I wanted to account for no tailwheel hookup at that time. Got the Robart adjustable valve for the inner gear doors too tight but the worst part is the tailwheel gear doors. Takes about 80psi in the system to get 'em open and when I retracted them the one door stays open.

It's REALLY stiff like one of the three hinges is binding, you can open the thing by hand and stop it wherever you want, even at a 45 degree angle with the little elastic snubbers hooked up even. Makes it that much harder for the gear to force the doors open.

Talked to Mark at AW today and he want's me to cut some of the snubbers as guys have been doing here and lube the hinges with silicone, but that's only part of the problem.

Any of you guys have a hinge misalignment issue or something with one of those gear doors? I can't see any glue in there but think at least one of the three hinges is out of line and cause the bind. Anybody got any ideas on how to check that without tearing all three hinges out and starting over?
