  You've got to be kidding. You mean the LIV doesn't have mechanical down
  locks?

[There are spring loaded pins that engage the gear mechanisms when in the full 
down position, so yes, there are down locks.  They are disengaged by the 
hydraulics when the gear retract.  That's the part I _suggested_ might have 
been damaged or broken in my earlier post.  Whatever the case, the right one 
sure didn't do its intended job in this instance (or so it appears).  (Could 
be these were older gear actuators that didn't have the SB regarding o-rings 
and springs applied.... we'll probably never know for sure though.)   <Marv>
