There must be something confusing about the instructions... ust try to rebuild it. The front landing gear is pure genuis, BTW. (...) (22 years ago, 22-Sep-02, to lugnet.technic)

It's a little vague, but I seem to remember the problem was with a <part:3713 Technic Bush> on the axle that holds the wheel that blocked the movement towards the locked (...)
