That`s looking good [8D]
I`ve started with the airt line tubing
After all is in hardest part will be to lock wiring all the connections

Nice to see quick progress! I notice you re-positioned the NLG door jacks to a better angle, are you going to do the same with the MLG inner doors, or maybe yours are OK as they are? (I had to replace the 'small' jacks in mine with BVM items, at the same time, adjust the geometry.

Hye Dick,
for now I will try the original set up for the main gear doors, during the first test they worked ok.
But the geometry for the nose doors were to way off.
The nose gear servo is also mounted on the leg now.

RE: Fei Bao Mirage 2000
So I have seperated the nose gear from the main gear and run the mains on a seperate air-system.
This way I get maximum capacity just for the mains since the tires are huge and the main doors are attachted to the strut.
2 big airtanks Teed to a BVM highflow valve now give me 3 convincing cycles on 130 Psi.
Nose gear runs on a "normal " seperate setup.
After some initial doubts on the reliability and pressure needed I am now very happy with the functioning of the Landing gear.
Off to the next task....main doors...

Double horns.
Double horns.
Does your customer want the elevon split and extra servo put in for redundancy? I felt it was worth it...

Had some problem with the main wheel doors.
They stayed open for 3cm because the wheels sticks to much out.
Added some washers under the outside bolts of the retracts and now it is ok.

You should e-mail Feibao and ask then about this problem.
Very nice build.
