Went on a trip today. Retracted the landing gear and the motor continued to run. I could see the spikes on the alternator/battery gauge. After about 10 minutes, the motor, I assume, went into thermal shut down. After cooling about a minute, I could extend the gear. Left it like that and flew with the gear extended to get back home. (Max speed with gear extended is 129KIAS). Couldn't even get close to that.
Any ideas? My thought is one of the gear switches is bad, question is: which one and how easy is it to replace.......If that is the issue?
Thanks in advance!
