Dan Schaefer writes about bug smashing...  



I've also had ground problems with my nose gear door trying to close before

the

nose wheel is retracted.  I replaced the sequence valve a couple of times and

finally resorted to adding the optional hydraulic line that adds down pressure

to the door cylinder in the hopes that somehow this'll do the trick.  I've yet

to try it out.  



It's a real head scratcher.  In theory that door should not move until the

sequence valve is actuated (at the end of the wheel cycle of course).  All

I can

figure is that the valve leaks a little.  I think the mains (with hydraulic

door

option) inboard doors threaten to do the same thing.  



How did you fix this?



Best,
