I am building an F-105 in FSDS2.  The main undercarriage rotates through 56 deg in X and 90 deg in Z during retraction.  It all works very well.

Now I am trying to fit the inboard gear doors which has a simple rotation througe 90 degrees.  However, when I link it to the main gear, it goes completely beserk !  Position changes and it takes on all kinds of different angles.  How can I do this right ?

Thank you Hagar.  I thought I had to do something like this, but I was not sure, since I have already called the main gear l_gear. 

I will try calling it l_gear.3 and animate it separately.

As an aside - when naming parts that have specific animation tags - you can name them, like Hagar says:

l_gear, l_gear.1, l_gear.rightdoor, etc.  BUT

l_gearrightdoor is NOT acceptable!!!

What some people do, as "housekeeping" is tag non-animated associated parts (taht would be animated as part of the main animation) as, say l_geardoorbrace, flaphinge_inner, l_aileronbalance...   In parts list, they tend to be grouped together...
