Turn the H up-side-down and try cycling the gear several times. You may have to wiggle the gear a bit if it looks like it's stuck.

I had one of my landing gear modules apart after a flyaway crash just so it would stand up straight until the new one arrives. There is plenty in there to jam up.

Make sure to remove the camera before doing it though. The gimbal can get damaged otherwise.

Speaking of the gimbal, should it be removed when calibrating compass? Looks like it could be rough on it.

Yes, remove the gimbal for compass calibration.

Yuneec doesn't say to remove the camera when calibrating the compass. Their compass calibration learning video has the camera attached during calibration. Since I fly my H with the camera attached I also calibrate the compass with it attached. Here Yuneec's video:

Yes initially my unit flew fine but my second or third flight I have to have someone grab it mid air to retrieve it . After updates to the firmware I didn't experience the issue again....

Perhaps spending a little time learning how gimbals work and the components used in them might change the way you do things. We'll read about your gimbal giving you problems fairly soon.

I had the same problem. First it didn't go up after it didn't go down.
So I switched the button about 20 times. Up down , up down. After a while it worked again.
