## Discrepancy

(CAN) SHORTLY AFTER SCHEDULED MAIN GEAR ACTUATOR REPLACEMENT THE GEAR WAS FOUND RETRACTING SLOWLY IN FLIGHT.  AT ONE POINT THE GEAR STALLED OUT AND HAD TO BE CYCLED IN ORDER TO GET IT TO FULLY RETRACT.  UPON INSPECTION IT WAS FOUND THAT THE RT ACTUATOR HAD A GRITTY SOUND AND UNUSUAL GEAR SLAP AS WELL AS STIFF OPERATION NEAR THE FULLY RETRACTED POSITION.  ACTUATOR REPLACED AND GEAR FOUND CYCLING PROPERLY.
