Although the much modified gear doors finally seem to work, now the problem is that the right main hydraulic cylinder has started leaking. WOW, a little hydraulic fluid sure goes a long way!!!! Seems that the leak is between the cylinder barrel and the mounting flange that holds the downlock. Since the mounting flange is mounted to the cylinder barrel with 4 nut/bolts, I assume that there must be an O-ring in there that has died from old age. (Vintage 1994)
Has anyone had this problem? Anyone know the name and address of the cylinder manufacturer? I assume that the cylinder should be returned to the mfgr for repair or is this something that a local machine shop can repair?? Comments, suggestions????
