Default RE: jet-1a air valve help


ORIGINAL: Grodus

I'm glad you posted that. I had just ordered an Airpower valve from Dreamworks and thought that it correct my problem. I guess everything will be ok as long as I hook it up backwards.

Thank,
Cody
Cody - it may or may not depend on which Airpower valve (I'm using the EV5U) and which mode etc you are using.

If you are using the EV5U as well, I'd suggest that you hook it up "normally" first without the gear doors actually being operated (otherwise you may do as I did and break your gear doors when the struts slam into them due to the incorrect behavior). Just hook some spare cylinder up to the gear-door ports so that you aren't losing all of your air when the valve tries to operate doors, and reverse the retract lines only if necessary. Then once you have that part done, start working on the gear doors.

Regards,
Gordon
