If anyone has had problems with the Spool Valves, as I have, I've had them all apart, and replaced 1. I found the replacement valves, but they now have a different connector plug, but it's not too difficult to rewire.

The new valves are around $250. each, much cheaper than our original source, which are not available. Let me know and I'll dig up the info.

More on Spool Valves- I replaced 1 with a new one, and did retraction tests - all o.k. - then flew it, and the gear wouldn't work. I did this at least 3 times, as I recall, and finally discovered that the floating piston was out of round, and when in the wrong position would bind. I worked it until it wouldn't bind in any any position.
