Scott, thank you for your response.I ha passed on your sugestions to thelocal mechanics. Vern also feels it is most likely a sequence valve issue. Replacing the valve seemed to temporarily correct the problem but this was short lived. It has also been suggested by an Australian builder that perhaps the nose wheel precesses slightly with gyroscopic force during retraction and thus is at a slight angle different to when on the ground and thus does not depress the valve. I don't have the self centering nose wheel mod. The suggestion was to check the bearings for wear + play in the nose wheel. On landing, I have noticed some "judder" or shimmy during my roll out. This would be consistent with worn bearings would it not? The judder was improved a little by a new drag link but has far from
disappeared altogether.
