landing gear blocked H+

[Jean Ghilain]

I have had an H+ for two years, it has never crashed and I always land delicately, gently,
yet, once in two, the landing gear does not want to go out when it is activated!
What do I advise you to do to solve this problem?
Thank you in advance

Turn the H upside down and flip the retract switch. If the legs don't go up then just give them a little tip and they should go up for you.

There are a couple of possibilities.
1. Remove the landing gear and clean the contacts with a pencil eraser.
2. The 5 screws which hold the actuator together may be too tight. Loosen all 5 and then snug them up.

See this video on testing with the gear while it's removed:
