Hey folks!  I’m happy to report I was able to troubleshoot the issue with the nose gear system wiring.  It turned out to be an intermittent connection on a wire that goes to the down travel limit switch, causing the whole system to lock up in one direction.

Here’s a video showing the gear system tests.  I did the first test solo, then a few hours later I did another one with Marco, who happened to be visiting.

I’m super pleased with how the new nose gear system turned out.  Obviously relieved as well that it works.  Now I can press on with other panel forward tasks in preparing for the upcoming construction & glassing of the top side of the nose.
