THANK YOU GARY!
I have been preaching this for years, but very few would listen to my rantings.� Many expensive trouble shooting sorties could have been prevented by simply checking the nose gear retract cly first.� But the "red herring" is that there is air escaping from the front cockpit gear valve, and in many cases convinces the owner/mechanic that the valve QSF-2A ($270.00) is going bad.� Now, understand I just love selling $270.00 valves, but in many situations it simply will not fix the problem.� A full set of nose gear retract cly seals and felts is only $40.00 if you want to tackle it yourself, or I now have all the special tools and will overhaul your cly and Fed Ex it to you for $100.00, or with epoxy primer $115.00.� You do the math.
�
I will be at ARS this year with a new ultrasonic leak detector, which I think will find even a very small high pressure leak.� These units retail for about $400.00 for the good one with head phones.� If it works as well as I expect it to it might be a good item to have at all the Yak gatherings on both coasts and in Nebraska.

Always Yakin,
Doug Sapp
