Default question on air system

Hey Guys,

Here's a question for you. I've almost finished my Eurosport (pictures soon). I set it up with gear doors, and because I often fly off of grass, I set the main gear doors so that they close when the gear comes down like a P-51.

Here's my problem. The wing bolts are inside the main wheel wells. When I'm done flying, I need a way to let the pressure out of the door close air line so I can get the main doors open to take the wing bolts out. On the other hand, howwhatever I put in there to do thst has to be secure so I don't loose air in flight and have a gear-up landing. I already have the system setup on a UP-2 valve, so I don't want to change that. What I'm looking for is a secure valve ( ball or screw type air valve) I can put in that one line so I can depressurize it at the end of a flying day.

Anybody have any suggestions? I know one of you guys out there MUST have some ideas?

Thanks,
Bob
