I was finally able to retrieve my 360 this past weekend after having to
leave it in Charleston for the past 10 days.  Unfortunately, my return
flight was less than perfect.  My gear would not retract and I had to fly
the entire way from Charleston, SC to Charlotte NC area with the gear down.
Reminded me of flying my old Archer!  120 KIAS, temps in the hot range,
fears of blowing off gear doors, and mushy handling.  Not to mention the
sore right leg from having to hold a lot of right rudder the entire way.

I haven't had a chance to search the archives yet (I'll be doing that next),
but the pump doesn't run, and the gear didn't budge.  I landed right after I
noticed the problem (uh, lousy climb rate and slow, what's wrong... I KNOW I
raised the gear... uh, still three green).  I disconnected (bypassed) the
squat switch, no help.  I turned everything off, cycled the pump breaker and
the switch breaker.  No luck.  My ride down suggested that I fly back gear
down, and he needed to get going.  So we departed and I bumped along down
low in 92 degree weather (to little climb rate to make it through the holes,
plus the CHT and oil temp really doesn't like climbs with the gear down.

Any thoughts?

Matt
