Try putting the gear on "FLIGHT MODES"... I used to have this problem with my BVM Mig15.
Three way switch. First click, gear up.. Once gear is retracted move switch again to close the doors. Do I know how to program this??? Hell no!!! Joe McWizard McBride does though... Worked great. I also installed a BVM "HIGH FLOW" gear valve... Problem solved!!!

Ron & Wayne, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
Looks like Saturday was a great day for first flights here in the southwest. Joe & I got our first flights on the A-10's completed. But the Gremlins were obviously focusing on the landing gear for all off us![:@]
Wayne, outstanding build job, gorgeous! Happy to see the flight ended successfully.
We'll see you guys at Fresno!!!!

invertmast, I used the avon plan set as a basis for my bird but I made changes to speed up construction. this bird has been in this state for a few years I had other projects to complete.

thanks It looks fantastic i am impressed! 120 oz fuel? where is it. your bird looks to be the same size as mine but I am in a squeeze for fitting fuel cells. I am using wren 54's and thinking i'll need 140 oz tankage. how much flight time are you getting. your help will keep me from reinventing the wheel.
please lemme no. Donny

There are two 16oz. and one 24 oz. tanks for each engine. One set of 16oz. tanks are in the engine bay protected by heat shields, the 24oz. tanks are in front of the wing sweep mech. and the last set of 16oz. are in front of them with the UAT’s on the top of them.

if you will, pm me with those pictures and any others you want. as a scratch builder I'm filled with a multitude of ideas from them.
Thanks again! Donny

Ron, did you get the gear issue ironed out?
Also I noticed that the right side of the wing hatch was lifting a little too in the pics.
