Aeronavics / Droidworx SkyJib Retractable Landing Gear not Locking

[APVXtreme]

Okay here we go again, 6 weeks and 4 servos later.... We figured out that the rail assembly? (main part that bolts to the copter) was bent from a hard landing last summer and was causing the gear to bind. This was what we thought the problem was. Sent it to a shop and had it straightened as new. Everything moves smoothly as it should now. So we finally got a couple new servos yesterday and I re-assembled again this morning. Upside down the gear works great! As soon as I flip the copter over right side up the legs only lift 3/4 of the way again. End points are set properly, it's back to not having enough juice to get them all the way up? They are being powered at 7V from a BEC and the PDB has been removed. Getting ready to ditch them altogether and go with a set of secraft retracs...

Kloner, in your honest opinion would it be worth buying a new set from droidworx?

Hi there!
Where can I get these servos in Europe??
I`m new to DJI and had the ¨intelligent¨ landing gear reversed, so when the beast landed it hoisted the retracts XD! MF!AHahA!
