Thanks to all those who responded re: my nose gear problem.

I have it fixed now - each gear retracts perfectly and all gear doors close
perfectly (including those annoying gear door stops)!  Yeah!

However, I was a little dissapointed with the action on the nose gear door -
with the low pressure line attached to the gear door cylinder, it is very
slow to open - the low pressure line seems to keep the spring from acting
very quickly.  When I remove the low pressure line, bang, the door opens
very quickly.

So, what do most 320/360 builders do - leave the line disconnected (as per
the original installation manual) or connect the low pressure line (as I was
told is the current preferred method).

Thanks,

Matt
