All,

I am a Legacy builder and I have = read the=20 LNC2 hydraulic

issues for years. It seems the = dump valve in=20 these

planes just connects the up side = to the down=20 side.

This has lead in some cases to = gear locked=20 up.

The dump valve in the = Legacy connects=20 both up and down

circuits to a third return = circuit which can=20 only be the

pressure of the reservior. This = seems much=20 safer and

should be relatively easy to = install in the=20 earlier model

since the return circuit holds no = pressure=20 and could be

rubber hose (or even the hated=20 nyaflow).
