Thanks Steve,
 
Sounds like the right thing.  Looks like you could set it to let the door down very slowly but not restrict the opening speed or vice versa.

Ed,

 

A control valve that does exactly as Lynn suggests is available .  One source is www.northerntool.com  part # 2055.  I used this valve on the dolly that I made to carry my plane to the airport for the reasons discussed.

Not a bad idea, Ben.  They would slow down the opening a bit, but would probably slow down the closing even more.  I'll check into it.

Assemble a swing check valve in parallel with your restrictor. So, most of the up flow is unrestricted and any downflow closes the check valve and goes through the restrictor.

Or machine the whole thing in a small block of aluminum.
