I found that both sequence valves in the main gear wells were plumbed backwards. The manual states that the inlet port is connected to the high pressure side and the outlet port goes to the inboard gear cylinder. The inboard gear doors operate properly now. I did have some difficulty getting the gear to free fall as well. They would stick in the gear wells. A slight push brings them down. This resistance to fall was also the result of the incorrect plumbing of the sequence valves. Now the gear comes rocketing out of the gear wells when I hit the dump valve. I have noticed that the nose gear bangs on the nose gear door and leaves a mark ( yes, I did plumb the nose gear door sequence valve properly :-) ) when the nose gear is coming down. Anyone else have this problem?
