The right undercarriage does not want to re-enter


Recommended Posts

It often happens to me with the Bf 109F-4 that the right leg of the landing gear fails to retract, remaining more or less protruding into the airflow.
Is there a way to remedy this?

Try to retract the landing gear before reach 250 km/h

There are maximum speeds in the various aircraft for when the undercarriage starts to malfunction.

 

The air pressure would start to force the apparatus back and it would jam.

 

The electric/hydraulics weren't that powerful.

 

So get your undercarriage up before you bring up your flaps or increase speed.
