Checked the retracts with volt meter. I just taped into the end of the servo wire extensions conecting the retracts to the receiver with the volt meter as the retracts are presently installed for use. My reading with the 6v 2000 ma battery was 6.5v (fully charged battery). With retracts in the down position and the plane sitting up-right in the stand, I hit the switch to pull the retracts up. The meter whent to 5.5v and the retracts began pulling up. One stopped then the other both about 2/3 the way up, the whining" began and the v meter went to 4.8v to 4.9v. Flipted the swithch and one retract began to lower and the other did not move. Meter went to 5.5v. Got the "stuck" retract down by adding a little presure as the swith was on and in the down position. Repeated test with the same results.
Flipted the plane on its back and the retracts went up and down with no problem but straining against gravity when going into the down position. (remember plane is upside down). Meter went to 5.5v.
I appears that this set of retracts and incapable of lifting the Robart struts and wheels with the plane upright. Guess I'll have to invert in flight each time I want to pull the retracts up.
Don't know of anything else to try, I think at this point I will install a set of mechanical retracts so I can get this beautifl plane off the bench and in the air and send the retracts back to HH and ask for a refund.

Thanks again for the help and suport of all. I will let you know how HH reacts to this bit of information.
