Oh no! Well, they're gone. I had a nice touchdown with no bounce yesterday, unfortunately, Ii landed on the mains instead of all three, and it nosed over. With hardly any damage except the prop, I thought I was in the clear, but then I went to retract the gear, the port gear failed to go up. After leaving the gear down for the ride home, I began to investigate and found that the rotating mechanism would not turn. I was trying to fix it when it ended up burning out. I couldn't tell what the problem was, because everything looked exactly like the one that still worked, nothing was bent or broken. I ended up getting four flights out of them, oh well, with the info that's in this thread, I think we've shown that these retracts are no better than the other cheapies. BTW, does anybody know anything about the Shulman Aviation rotators?
