Did anyone with an advanced F-16 1/8 have problems with the main landing gears not retracting fully ?

The right side main gear doesnt want to come up, I attached a picture showing the problem. The forward scissor strut joint is rubbing againsts the other strut while the gear is retracting and its causing a lot of friction which prevents the air cylinder from lifting the gear all the way up. The same thing is happening on the left side gear but there is less friction and the cylinder manages to push the gear all the way up however if the pressure in the system drops below 100 psi both main gears will not come all the way up.

I've tried to adjust every linkage to reduce the friction between both struts but that's just how the system is designed, the air cylinder is pushing on the aluminum block which in turn pushes down on the scissor strut, creating that friction between both struts...

I've tried to get that wheel to come up all day any help would be appreciated

Thanks,

Sebastien

Sorry I have the plus which they have stopped making, but what turbine are you putting in it???
