Hello guys, my son got into trouble when building this plane - the main gear doesn't go up. I have tried to rebuild it again and the result is the same.

Front gear goes up with no problem. The main gear is going up at the same time also, but very very slowly.

The result is that when the front gear is already up, the main gear is somewhere "in the middle of its way".

Do you have any idea or guess what the problem could be?

Any hint is appreciated.

 

Thank you very much

Tomas

Hello,

I believe I also had trouble with the main gear not going working fully.

If I remember correcty I misplaced {something} in the building steps 28 through 33. Did you check these?

will do. Thanks a lot...

This seems to be a complicated set. As we had a similar question a while ago.

The problem sound very similar to the one in the linked post.

 

It's very hard for anyone to help with so little information to go on. I suggest you at least post some pictures or video.

Oh, and just so you know, @DonTomasino, Eurobricks doesn't really host images, so you'd need to host it somewhere else, like flickr or Bricksafe, which is a bit annoying, but it's how the forum works

In step 269 the lever dost not reach its vertical position (cf. schematic up right)

And this is what I did wrong:

I misplaced the grey #1 connector.
