Well guys and gals, I have not dealt with my hydraulic system yet.  I hope
to install the landing gear and hydraulic system in December.  
On the other hand, I have considerable experience with hydraulic systems as
that was my training in the Navy.
A couple issues that I have not heard is water in the oil and filtration.
When constructing a hydraulic system is in utmost importance to ensure that
all lines and components are clean of debris.  One of the best ways to do
this is the flush the system before the cylinders with proper thin oils.
This helps remove debris and moisture.  In studying the hydraulic system I
have Not noticed proper filtration.  Without proper filtration any particles
left in the system will lead to seal failures.
I plan to install some kind filtration system to ensure that my oil stays
clean. Lastly the hydraulic oils should be changed at least one to two years
depending on the humidity conditions.  Surprising hydraulic oils do trap
moisture which also leads to O-ring failure.
Well that's my two cents.
Happy flying
