Dave, Andy and others, I notice you have your main gear wheel doors stay open when the gear are down. Dave, I remember reading a comment of yours that said you hit the doors on the ground on one harder landing. If this is possible, would you recommend retracting them ehan the gear is down to avoid this problem? I will use UP valves and this seems easy to accomplish.

What say you?

Man, the dual nose gear doors were a pain to install and get the proper clearances for them to work! I ended up making my own hinges from fiberglass sheet instead of using the wire rod and tubing. I could not get them to work properly and fit the curvatures the way I wanted.

Next is the main doors. They should be easier[]
