Hi Frank
Sounds like you have the bungee set much too tight. It should not
require any effort to drop the gear and very little to retract it.
Try loosening it of some until you can easily retract and drop the gear.

the whole thing retracts into the wheel well lovely, however i cant put it back
down again using the lever.....its just too stiff. I have to get under the
plane and pull the wheel down. Now i noticed on the diagram in chapter 29 the
arrows on the bungee. The first two point up and the rest point down. This
depends
on the way you wrap the bungee around the lower tube (weather in front or
behind the tube). Are the arrows wrong? Should it be 2 down and 7 up? Most of
the weight (the wheel) is behind the lever so i imagine the bungee is really
there to lift the wheel not put it down, is this right? Input to aid my aching
hands, from pulling on that cord, is much appreciated. Thanks Frank
