panther1400 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 What does it mean or what is next to come if it seems to me like the gear comes up slower than normal, down seems to as good as ever anyone have the feeling like the gear on theirs comes up slow ? Not sure what it means or what the fix is?
jetdriven Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 It will come up slower because it is also working against air loads and gravity. Thats why your gear can come down and lock with an almost completely dead battery. The air loads and gravity pull it down.
panther1400 Posted July 18, 2012 Author Report Posted July 18, 2012 So this normal? About how long should it take from the time you lift the gear switch till the time the gear light goes out?
rgpilot Posted August 13, 2012 Report Posted August 13, 2012 I had an intermittant problem with my 201. Always went down fast but was sometimes slow to retract. Worked on the up limit switch when the plane was sitting on the ground. Used the wooded handle of a hammer to push on it (takes quite a bit of force) about 50 times. Problem went away. It seems like the switch was not showing the gear was fully up but I didn't get any red light. I guess there was a little corusion in there. The switch is very closed, so there is probably no way to spray it.
