## Discrepancy

THIS LANDING GEAR RETRACTED AT TOUCH-DOWN.  AIRCRAFT WAS IN STORAGE FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.  IT WAS PUT BACK IN SERVICE THE SUMMER OF 2005.  THE LANDING GEAR WAS OVERHAULED (MECHANICAL) IN JAN 2006.  THE GEAR WAS MODIFIED FROM HAND CRANK RETRACT TO ELE/HYD RETRACT, QUITE SOME TIME BACK.  FEEL THE ELECTRICAL PART OF THE DESIGN SHOULD BE LOOKED AT.  (NO SQUAT SWITCH, ETC) GOOD GROUND SYS IN WOOD AIRCRAFT.  (K)
