Thanks Todd, Jo I think the gear is designed right I am just looking to get the most bang for the buck. Well since there are plenty of thoughts on this I will start with my two valves and just do some testing for you folks. Then I will switch to three just to so if the gear closes with more force than two. My gear on the Avanti are heavier than the f-14 and have no mechanical advantage, the F-14 has a bit of a arm on the mechanical advantage. The Avanti gear dont closes pretty fast with two of these valves, the nose closes much faster since it has its own valve the mains are slower because the valve is shared. The closing force on the gear is really good there is not rotation on the up/down like the f-14 mains. Good stuff
