Yes, but not on the Lancair 360, this is a common problem on the Lancair
Legacy. The fix is the racers kit, which changes the inboard gear door
actuators. Are you running the hydraulic inboard gear doors or the
mechanical type?

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
