| Subject: | gear retraction problem |
Hello
yesterday I've intended to make a fly and clean the plane in preparation for Saturday
airshow . ...
I had a major problem with the gear: just after take off it was not possible to
retract.....
Move up the gear handle and only the left green light switch off, and no red light
switch on. the 3 external red gear indicators stay out....
so i moved down the handle and i got the " greens.
the air pressure was enough at 25/30 Atm.
so i move up again the gear handle and nothing happens. 3 greens remains. So i
put the handle on down position and land again without problem.
Guy on the ground reported that they saw the gear retraction non completed after
take off . for them, the main gear only move for about 30 from vertical position
before to come back at vertical position. Because of distance and position
they were unable to give information for the nose gear position .
So what can be done . I can't fly any more with no gear retraction ...
please help
best regards
Bruno

Good morning Bruno...
Several years ago I had a very similar problem with my CJ6A, except I
(apparently) had NO movement in my gear when I moved the handle up.
It turns out, the check valve for my emergency gear extension was corroded,
and leaking "down air" from the emergency bottle/supply. This prevented my
gear from coming up.
Installing a new check valve (from Doug Sapp) was not difficult, and the
problem disappeared.
Perhaps this will help?
