Since I purchased the old bird, i put 150+ hours on her and still have not mastered smoothe and consistent raising of the manual landing gears with the JBar. I rotate at 60-65, establish climb, get out of ground effect and then try to raise them. Occassionally, the JBar movement to the up and locked position is smooth. I don't know if its me or if its the rigging. So, two questions: 1) what is the correct procedure to raise the gear with the JBar; 2) How can I determine if the rigging is alright without taking it to a MSC (I live in Mexico). Thanks.
