How do you go about this, in detail?



Sometimes the U/C locks down quite easily, but on other
occasions it’s like pushing against a brick wall! I
thought that it might be related to airspeed, as you
have to push the wheel forward into the slipstream,
but on the last occasion I had difficulties slowing
down to the stall made no difference.


Have you tried under various g-load conditions?
