Do you fly 3 hours or more high in cold weather and descend to
warm landings very often? Lorn
Try a 3 or 4 hr flight at 17,500 and decend into Vegas or PHX. That
would definetely tell you the dealio. One thing that is different on my
system is that I did not use the factory hoses. I went with small light
stainless braid teflon hoses. They are good to 3k psi. The system is
tight, tight, tight. If you went with the factory hoses it may be
acting like a balloon and expanding a little. Can't remember if you have
gauges on your hyd system but that tells the story of what is happening, not
necessarily why though... Best, Randy.
My bladder is only good for about 2 hours.
>>>Mine doesn't do any of those things in flight except maybe
once or twice an hour. Extended is another story.

I do not hear my pump cycle while in
flight. May be I'm hard of hearing. I will say the gear system has
not been trouble free. In its first year I worked out some early issues
which were mainly related to the two relays and the adjustable pressure
switches. But, since then it has been relatively trouble
free.
