So, I may have jinxed myself on my earlier posts about installing my GPS after finally resolving so many other issues...
Launched this morning but the gear wouldn't come up. I've had this issue before where the auto-extend pitot on the side of the fuselage was blocked by mud-dauber bees had set up shop. I didn't fix it last time but now that I am fairly certain this is the issue, any pointers on cleaning out the pitot mast and tubing?
I bought some pipe cleaners today and will soak them with cleaner and basically try to unblock it by sticking the pipe cleaner in there. I'm open to other ideas if the group has any.
That being said, If this DOES work, I anticipate that I will be pushing detritus into the auto extend system which is basically looks like a big regulator under the rear bench. Is there a way to rebuild/refurbish this? Kits available somewhere?
Thanks
