Hello James,
If I understand your email correctly the issue you are having is with moving the
lever out of the up gate in order to lower the gear. That being the case I
offer the following suggestions, neither being a mod, however.
First, try tightening the bungee. This greatly reduces the force necessary to
not only raise the undercarriage, but also the forward force required to move
the lever out of the up gate.
Secondly, I have found that if I unload the wing by pushing the control stick
forward,
the undercarriage lever will float forward off of the up gate allowing
easy extension of the gear. Typically, I perform this maneuver by first,
pulling
the power back and then raising the nose to maintain altitude, as speed drops
below the flap extension speed push the nose over and at the same time lower
the gear as you feel the lever move forward off of the up gate. Works a
treat.
Regards,
Erich
