AND IT WONT COME UP"!
--> Lancair-List message posted by: Flylow38@aol.com
Hello Lancair owners, builders and pilots,
I am currently flying a Lancair 360 MKII with the outback gear. Above 140
indicated, the gear starts to sag about 1 inch. above 180 indicated it is hanging
out 3 inches. The inner gear doors are also pushed out by the wheels as they
come down. We have tried aerodynamic trips, as well as increasing the pressure
to 1300 psi. Normal PSI is around 1050. It looks as if its not just tweaking
the gear doors but also lowering the wheel from the well. Nose gear is fine
and the gear retracts up and tight on the jacks. Neither have been successful.
We have up and down PSI guages for the hydraulics. Reno is nearing and we will
be increasing pressure to 15-1800 psi to try to fix this issue. Have any of
you out there experienced this same problem? I'd appreciate your comments.
Thanks,
Will
