Default restrictors on retracts too slow on the way up?

Hey guys

i use always restrictor in my retracts airlines...closest to the cylinders so they wont hit at the end when i lower them

plus they look nice when they move slow


..but when i retract them up
only there waith of the leg with out restrictors some times its good to slow them in a scale move

plus some times when restrictors used on the way up and you have secuense main doors they will be too late and the doors will close?


i want to share with you an idea i had so to overcome this

the use of a one way valve:
so when leg is going down the one way valve is closed and air is restricted so slow move and not a slap at the end

and on the way up the one way valve opens and bypass the restrictor so full power right away


..what you think?[&o]


forgive my poor english and my drawing skils

...im away from my workshop so no picks to upload..

thanx for your time reading this

regards
George
