Well here I go again. Received my new blue board today and new boards for the wings. I replaced all of it and again when I put landing gear down and unplug plane and turn off transmitter like I would if changing batteries to fly again. I turn on transmitter and plug in batteries gear door closes on gear while still down. So I have to unplug gear door from blue board and use my servo tester to open it up to put gear up. Also with gear up when I plug in batteries gear door comes up which makes doors overlap but when switch is flipped doors open fine and gear goes down. Guess I’ll have to call Motion RC again. If anyone has any ideas I’m all ears. Thanks.

chrisk83 developed a support plate for the F-14 nose gear since the plastic retract mount tends to break loose and is difficult to get secured back in place. This plate mounts inside the battery hatch and uses M3x55mm screws and nuts through the retract unit to secure everything in place.
The F-22 uses the same stock mount plate, and mine came loose again last weekend during an event. So I wondered if the F-14 mount plate support would work here. I'm happy to report that it does! I used M3x50mm screws as the distance between the mount and support plate is not as wide. I could have gotten away with 45mm screws but didn't have any on hand. The extra length of the screws does not interfere with the canopy hatch.
Here's a link to the support plate on thingiverse:

When you first talked about this, before you got a replacement MCBe I thought you had something plugged in wrong. I still do.
Here are the instructions. Please verify you have the nose gear doors in the single stage door slot, the second connection in. And that the landing gear servo is in one of the landing gear slots and the steering is in the steering slot (I think you probably have those right).

I could be wrong but I thought I've heard there are issues with the AR8020T rx? Have you tried using a different rx just for testing?My YouTube RC videos:

Took mine yesterday for a spin , was pretty windy, wasn’t sure then i did it. I have the 8S version and i never have a single problem after 50ish flights . All stock, just add lights on wings and front side . The AB are from the RCGeek .. a must on jets
Gray sky helps alote to show led for orientation.
this jet dosn’t have the looks of a “ OMG “ but sure is a great flyer.
great power even after rain on grass, dosn’t care, will go up no problems at all .
super easy to fly , in my opinion much easier this then the t-45 which aswell it is a easy jet to fly .
had fun !

I wish you were near me so a second set of eyes can look at your set up (a good reason to put in your location in the avatar box). I still think it's wiring or voltage or something, not the MCBe. The MCBe has been pretty trouble free for most of us. It doesn't like voltages higher than 5.5V (why I asked about your BEC) and seems to have issues with some radios like Jeti (why I asked what radio).
