Any word back from Aeronavics on this problem? I too am experiencing this and don't want to give up a channel so the retracts work properly. I've sent the below email to Aeronavics and will post their reply in this thread.

Hello, I am having problems correctly programing the retract mechanism on my SkyJib to respond in the A2 properly. The retracts are connected to the A2 gear channel and are reversed in the software. When the gear is physically up (retracted) the A2 thinks the gear is down and vise-versa. I have tried to reverse the channel in the A2 software and on my radio but this does not solve the problem. The A2 controller will always see the gear as opposite to its physical orientation. The problem with this is when the A2 goes into failsafe/RTH the gear goes up... You can imagine why this is a problem. How do I solve this? Can I re-wire the retracts control board? Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Take care, John.
HI,
I spoke to a technicien at Aeronavics and he told me he wasn't aware of this and was going to test it. I didn't follow up as I have ended up using a External SBUS Rx as the A2 does't have enough plugs for everything I have to plug in ! The retractables work fine on all the other F2 to F4. I know it is a shame but no other solution yet ! it seems that there is going to be an update soon which will allow A2 users to use the DBuS adapter as an extention to the receiver but for now it is only to plug a traditional receiver in.
