Staale, I agree with you in restricting the exhaust flow of air instead of the in airflow.
That is what I do in most of my planes.
The problem with some planes (and, according to Ali, this is one of them), you really need to slam it "up" with lots of psi (about 120), or they will not retract in flight.
In other words, you want "Unrestricted" flow going up. So, I needed to slow down the "down" part of the cycle only. And what I described was the only way I could figure it out (using the airpower valve) Any ideas??


Anyway, I will know when I fly it. Depending on the required pressure to retract, I may change things around
