P-38 Front Landing Gear

[gustav]

Yesterday I took my P-38 down off the wall and attempted to retract the front landing gear. After applying as much pressure as I thought possible without breaking it, I still couldn't get the gear down.

I know this topic has been brought up before, so does anyone remember how it is done?

Thanks!

Gustav, to extend the gear to land you should be able to fold the gear into position with a little force. To retract the gear to fly you have to push the gear straight up into the fuselage then fold back.

Sounds like you may have a problem if you can't get the gear extended.

Thanks B-SNAKES, I'll try that tonight. Hopefully I don't end up with broken plastic in my hand!
