Specifically....how would one avoid a destructive flex in the solid lines when the hyd actuators are moving ever so slightly while retracting the mains/nose gear legs? I can sort of see the mains could be done this way but it seems the nose gear actuator is describing more arc in its movement. I think you are on to something here which could lead to eliminating most of the bulkhead fittings, their attendant leaks, labor, weight and cost. I have already eliminated the inboard gear door hydraulics(about eight pounds) because mine are actuated with "dirt simple" stainless, telescoping push rods and a bellcrank. This system weighs 10oz per main gear with no leaks....ever.
