REFLECTOR: GEAR RETRACTION

[romott at adelphia.net]

There is not an adjustment.  However, if the upper gear leg sockets are tight (too close together), the overcenter lock won't quite operate as needed.  Open up the sockets a bit to the point that the overcenter locks everytime. It took me a good bit of grinding/sanding the inside of the socket but it fixed it.  Then you wind up with a bit of slop when the gear is down - the fuselage will rock back and forth a bit on the mains, but that is the way it works.
