There is a built in delay in the gear (blue box) controller for a sequenced gear door. It's close to 8 seconds most of the time both up and down.

On planes like my FMS Tigercat that has the wing connects, I dab some dielectric grease in each cylinder so the pin that goes into them have good conduction.

The maiden
Had to cut out some of the video due to the fact that the sun was in a bad place and this was also the maiden of our new video camera which we bought the day before.
My wife was learning a new camera as I was learning a new bird.
As soon as I got the wheels up, I new this was gonna be good.
Flight two video and a little more discussion of the setup will follow.
The bird required ZERO trim. I love the speed and the slow flight capability. The gear are just what the doctor ordered for our runway.

Okay guys, four more flights this morning (9 total) and on the third flight I had my first hiccup with it, I had done several slow flybys with flaps down and gear down then power up, pull the gear up and go around drop the gear and do another slow fly by, now on my third flight and a fresh battery, I was doing a slow flyby with gear down, flaps down, I then added in some power and pulled the gear up leveled off and raised the flaps and everything looked great, then all of sudden it rolls left by itself, actually thought it was going to just roll over into the dirt but I rolled her back over and started a battle, needed a lot of right aileron to keep it level, added more power to gain altitude and to give me some more time to figure out what was going on, then I decided to lower the flaps and see what happens, well she leveled off on her own and everything felt normal so I dropped the gear and came on in, no problem on landing, greased her right in, then I took her to the bench and can't find a thing wrong with it, cycled everything over and over and all works perfect as usual. Well I decided to take it up again because I still had one battery left, all went perfect like my first few flights, it flew fine with no issues. Then back to the bench and I took it all back apart and couldn't find anything wrong at all, it really felt like I had a flap stuck maybe, because when I Iowered the flaps it solved the issue right away. I did hear some issues somebody had with a flap servo bad or something?:Confused:

It then worked briefly only to later fail completely. Fortunately I discovered the failure while on the bench and swapped it out.
