tips:
Be sure to pay attention to the working status
of the 3 LED lights during debugging
When the landing gear is retracted in place,
the lights go out at the same time
If the light stays on after the landing gear is
retracted in place, it proves that the circuit is
faulty, please power off immediately to find
the problem
Please Read the manual before using the landing gear！
Electric Landing Gear Manual
The working principle of the landing gear controller.
 The start and stop of the landing gear during the retraction
process can be determined by real-time monitoring of the whole
working current through the control board.
When the landing gear is retracted, the instantaneous power
reaches 100%, and after starting, the power is reduced to 80%.
When the landing gear slider runs to the end of locked rotor, the
current will increase. When the controller detects that the locked
rotor current reaches the set value, it will immediately
stop supplying power to the motor.
(LED light is on for power on and off for power off)
Securely glue together
,if coming off during flights.
You lose control of your airplane
which leads to accidents!
