A quick query from “Down Under”. I am up to building the
hydraulic system for my Lancair 360, and need to purchase some hydraulic hose
for the gear retract system. I understand the system theoretically operates at
about 1500 PSI. However I have spoken to someone with experience on a similar
aircraft, and he said that he has observed pressures over 2000 PSI, due to the
heat soak phenomenon previously discussed on the LML.
My question is, what pressure hose have others used in
their aircraft? Do you have any suggestions or useful comments about building
this system?
Thanks in anticipation.
