Question for the Gear Heads

Hope the OP gets his problem sorted straight away.

I have a gear-related question - what causes the gear doors (rear in my case) to slowly droop open if the plane has been sitting for awhile? By slowly, I mean they may be an inch from fully closed after sitting three weeks.

I assume there is a leaky actuator or check valve causing this minor issue.

Upon powering the master, the electric pump kicks in and immediately shuts the doors. Would not want to be working in there when someone switched on the master without pulling the gear motor breaker!

Would one of our Skymaster Gearheads please point me in right direction to fix this?
