I've also had ground problems with my nose gear door trying to close before the nose wheel is retracted. I replaced the sequence valve a couple of times and finally resorted to adding the optional hydraulic line that adds down pressure to the door cylinder in the hopes that somehow this'll do the trick. I've yet to try it out. It's a real head scratcher. In theory that door should not move until the sequence valve is actuated (at the end of the wheel cycle of course). All I can figure is that the valve leaks a little. I think the mains (with hydraulic door option) inboard doors threaten to do the same thing. How did you fix this? Best, EdeC
