Dave, hopefully John will read and respond to this, as he has taken the landing gear apart. My guess is you probably lowered the landing gear as far as it would go and the gears got stuck. Then they would not retract until you manually got them started. Again my guess is the only way to know if the gears are starting to strip is to pull the landing pad and check the gears at the top of it. Let me know if you need any help (I'm listed under TAP), I live in Grants Pass, about 2 hrs from Crescent City.
