Trying to set up a Durafly Mk24 Sptifire and I'm stumped on the landing gear. When I try to lower them one goes down fully and the other only travels half way down. Had a spare set of gear and I swapped the one unit out with a brand new one and I get the same result. Tried every radio setting I can find and still no luck. What am I missing?

Takeoffs are optional. Landings are mandatory.

Are they both on a y harness? Or separate channel for each?

Y harness. But even when I plug the thing into the rx directly only one of the retracts cycles

Important lesson. Hobby King doesn't test their products..

If you get at set of Durafly retracts that won't open all the way. Loosen the screws holding the strut in the retract and pull them back about 3mm. Apparently if it's set to far into the retract it won't clear the drive screw and will get bound up.


Nice work, hobby king..

You get what you pay for.
Glad you got it worked out Mike
Yea 400W/lb should about do it.. But wouldn't a nice round 500 be better?
