Same old problem . . . bleed the line . . . sure .
. . but only AFTER you get back on the ground.
Another way to fix that is to force the pump to
operate in the direction set by the gear switch, after a half second of that,
the system operates normally.
My module fixes that . . . in flight . . .
automatically . . . and the pilot never needs to do anything extra.
Been posted about previously . . . about six months
ago or so.

Quite possibly one of the best posts I've ever read.
Thanks, Tom, for taking the time so share those experiences!
I recently
experienced the inability to raise the gear. A quick call to Rick Argente
(Lancair owner/builder in NJ) provided the solution...bleed the line. He said
it's a common issue when flying from cold locations (NJ) to warmer
destinations (Georgia).
I also get hear the pump activate in flight for
a fraction of a second every 20-30 minutes or so, which I suspect points to a
leak of some sort.
