Landing gear for Typhoon H not working

[Damien Beebe]

I have not used my drone for a while and when I did, I noticed that the landing gear is not engaging. There is a bit of a twitch on one but they are not working. Any advice on how to fix this problem? Do I need to replace the motors for the landing gear?
Cheers D

At least one of them is jammed. Remove one, see if the other will move. If not remove it and install the other to see if it moves.
Lots of things can go wrong with the landing gear actuator. Most often they just need to have the mechanical pressure released and some lubrication. Other times it is a broken actuator jaw. It is seldom a motor or electronics issue.

Typhoon H is notorious for the issue, even though it is the same actuator and landing gear as several other models. The cause is probably the TH bumpy landings combined with the way the control circuit works.

Thank you. Will give that a try!

You can turn the H upside down to test the landing gear.
