Biggest failure with the retractable gear are the limit switches used in the whole cycle of the gears. It is usually the rear gears that have the issue. This however is still a very reliable platform.too bad they are no longer being made.

Thing looks like it has a mind of it's own.

Beautiful bit of clock work!!

Pan Riha , dakujem za pekne video ktore ste uverejnili , len mam otazku ako ste k nemu prišli , a letisko v Nitre ma oznacenie LZNI a nie ZNI Zaujima ma to preto, lebo predmetne lietadlo je moje a vidiet tam aj mna .....

Dobrý den, video mám od mechanika Honzy, jsem rád, že se vám líbí. Jak jste určitě zaznamenal, mám na webu více podobných videí z kontrol funkce podvozku, občas se kolem malých letadel v okamžiku údržby pohybuji a mám možnost podobná videa pořídit, případně mě zásobuje Honza :-). Schválně, jak si video dlouhodobě na webu povede, zatím nejúspěšnější je to s Cessnou 177RG Cardinal, OK-SAP.

Ingenious but the way the landing gear goes limp (and swings back and forth) midway is wierd. Is that a fault or was it designed this way?

This is a standard behaviour of all small Cessna landing gears and is doing this by design - since new. I have already commented on the same thing in my other video.

I suspect while in flight that the wind would keep those from flopping back and fourth and just be pushed back tell the mechanism engages or retracts.

This is due to the pump being connected to several actuators. The most loaded actuators cannot possibly move until the least loaded actuator has either finished its stroke, or become more loaded than the others, then the next least loaded actuator will start to move in the sequence. If the two last actuators are loaded almost the same, then both will move almost together, taking quick turns between each other.

This thing has the wonkiest landing gear besides the b-52

Po šesti letech první komentář v češtině. Už jsem si myslel, že si toho tady nikdo nevšimne. To “plandání” je normální, je to konstrukční vlastnost. Ale souhlasím, vypadá to, jako když to mele z posledního :-).

Not very sexy, but it all fits perfectly

Wait a minute thats illegal

The Oscar Deuce did a job back then for sure. Tough plane too. Those gear doors on the back of the suck and blow were some major drag makers when you cycled the gear.

A very good movie with, indeed, a very prominent role for the O-2.

I don't like Cessna planes. The main gear of the 337 and 210 probably work but the way they wobble scares me.

The problem with retractable gear, is moving doors, AND Gear...twice the actuator , twice the switches, twice the hydraulic possibilty of failure This system, although it LOOKS Wonky, is VERY Reliable
