Javier,
If your finger had a hangnail, would your doctor remove the finger for examination?
Either your mechanic works mostly on turbine equipment or your were wearing
your Rolex and Gucci's when you spoke with him. You were thinking you had a
big problem and perhaps he was thinking he was getting a big payday.
MMO does work, and so does "Mouse oil" and a hammer to unstick an ornery valve.
Wielded in the right hands of course.

With outstanding guidance from CJ owner, Mark Pennington, the problem has be
en solved =94 a faulty extend side diverter valve.
Mark kindly called me and then provided written step-by-step instructions to
isolate the problem.
Here are Mark=99s instructions:
=9CFirst this is just what I did to solve my problems.
I am sure others may have valid methods.
1
Detach the extend and retract tubing from both the front and rear cockpits.
Leave the air supply hooked up. Put both handles in the neutral position.
Turn the air on to the plane.
There should be no air coming out of the Flap valves front or rear anywhere.
Now wet a shop towel And exercise both valves in both directions into the w
et towel. This is to see if you have debris in the valve. If you have a lea
k or debris in the valve. Repair and move to step two
2.
Attach the extend and retract tubing to the front valve only. Turn on the a
ir and operate the flap from the front cockpit.
The flap should operate as normal.
There should be zero air coming out of the tubes that are disconnected from t
he rear cock pit valve.
This step is make sure the diverter valves are not leaking.
If you have the flap extended and air is coming from the rear cockpit tube a
ssociated with the extended position. That diverter valve is leaking.
If you have air leaking from the retract tube. Two things. One the diverte
r valve is leaking and the flap actuator is blowing by internally.
Repeat the test from the front cockpit for retract position.
Feel free to call with questions or clarification.
Hope this helps.
I think you have a leaking diverter valve. You may also have debris in the s
ystem that makes things non repeatable during testing. This is what I found
in my plane. I chased my butt for a full week before I used a wet shop to
wel to catch debris. Then talked with Doug and he said dirt in the system i
s a huge issue. I have taken other steps to ensure I have clean air in the p
lane.=9D
And Mark=99s belief that I had a bad diverter valve was absolutely cor
rect.
I could not be more grateful!!
