P-51 Landing Gear Door Close at Start Up
Notice how the landing gear doors on the P-51 Mustang close when the engine starts? The gear doors are down (open) when the engine is switched off, but when the engine turns over for the next cycle, the door automatically closes. And then, when the gear comes up, the doors open again (of course) and then closes. Why do the gear doors close at start up?
