Brief Description: Landing gear test
|
|
Well, I'm waiting for some more wire to come in to finish the rework of my intercom wiring, so I’ll take care of some other things in the meantime.
I haven’t cycled and tested the landing gear since completing the wiring on that. I was just going to wait and test the first time I roll into the lake, but I’m locking down all the wiring, so I really need to know if it works or not. With these gear motors, you really don’t know whether you got the two wires in the right place until a test. I jacked the plane up until the wheels were off the ground and flipped the switch to raise the gear. I found that I had both actuators wired backwards, and even one set of microswitches. I corrected these, ran the gear up and down several times successfully, then locked-down the wiring with sheathing and clamps. Very glad I went ahead and took care of this, because it was a situation where the wheels were working opposite of each other, and if I had rolled it in the water to test, I’d have to fix it in the water, before being able to roll back up on land.
