<span style=''font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; ''>I am having issues with the nose door actuator switch on a BVM Ultra Bandit. I have installed the push button actuator in such a manner that when the nose gear goes up, it hits the push button and the nose door shuts. However, the stock push button (robart) is rather sensitive and it needs to be pressed exactly to a certain point, any more or less and it results in air leak. I had one gear up landing due to this and got out of jail free...Ever since then I have installed the dreamworks gear fail safe....however, I would like to do away with this push button. Are there any other alternatives?</span><div style=''font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; ''> </div><div style=''font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; ''>thanks in advance.</div>
Anurag,
That is how they fail (become too sensitive to side loads). Get a new one, they should not be so sensitive to misalingment
Also, whenever I use a button for doors, I put separate bottle for the doors, because those buttons are your weak link in the system
Hope this helps
Jack
