Gentlemen,
I trail my aircraft every time I fly it, and I have noticed recently that on
some occasions when I come to rig the aircraft the undercarriage latch has
jumped
up during transit, and is resting on the side of the undercarriage lever
guide. It is not hard to imagine that a few more bumps could cause an
involuntary
retraction. I propose to fit an old fashioned lock spring on the undercarriage
lever such that it presses down on the latch and hopefully prevents it from
jumping up. After all the same thing could happen on rough ground.
Has anybody else experienced the latch jumping up, and if so are there any
other suggestions of how to prevent it happening?
