Undercarriage troubles

[CharlesT]

Hi. I've had a couple of events where the undercarriage had failed to lower so have had to hand catch. The legs then lower as the H is powered down. Wondering if anyone else has had such a problem or if there are any ideas of a solution? Thanks.

There was post in here before about that...if you use the search you might find it...i believe if i remember that there can be a simple mechanical solution

Thanks. I did a few searches but couldn't find anything.

I can't find it either, here was one something related, you can operate the legs motors off and upside down to trouble shoot...maybe just call CS ?
Thank you Capt'n Drone

I've dropped them an email. Didn't know you could operate it upside down?

Me neither I never had the need to try that !

I've had a problem with my H in that the landing gear now won't retract. The right hand gear tries to move, but only goes about 2 inches and stops. This has happened ever since I installed the Sept 1 firmware upgrade. As for laying the H upside down, with no props, it will cycle the gear up and down. That's before I added the firmware upgrade. Now it won't move upside down or otherwise. Time to call Yuneec I guess!

I think someone on here suggested unscrewing the legs and removing them. Clean the contacts and then refit. It worked for a poster some time ago.

I have done that, too. It's interesting that when you remove the landing gear, all you see that's inside the H, is the electrical contacts. NO moving parts! I am guessing the motor that drives the gear is somewhere out of sight inside the bird.
I flew a couple times today and everything but the landing gear worked. Even the obstacle avoidance sounded off and kept my H from flying into my fence!
