I have won myself a 100% complete Night Raven. I got it from Ebay and the seller didn't give a whole lot of information, but the fact that it was 100% was excellent with me. I just have 2 problems. The missle hanger underneath it will not stay up when you go to hide the missle deck. The landing gear mechanism is kinda tough to get to work. Does anyone in the Tank have any know-how to combat these issues?? I can deal with the landing gear but the missle rack always staying down does get a little annoying!!

I have two of them and the bomb bay is loose on one.
This is from a lot of play time wearing out the grooves that the bay slides up in to. You can try some masking tape on the bay's runners to fit the worn grooves a little better. Cut the tape into small slivers to fit better and to hide the tape. This will make the fit a little tighter and not want to slide out as bad. It just comes with a well played with toy. Apart from that there isn't a whole lot you can do, as far as I know. |

if there is any quick-fix to the landing gear I'd def. love to hear it
mine sticks too.. im not sure if that is indicative of the plane itself or just the age, since I also got mine off ebay.

I'm a Night Raven Fan too. Some of my Ravens had that tough landing gear problem. I opened them up and played with the mechanism to see where it gets caught. I just shaved down the piece on the mechanism that gets snagged on the plane with an exacto knife. If you don't know what i'm talkin about i could take pics. It worked like a charm. I know if u don't fix it you could easily snap the landing gear right off. That happened to me when I was a kid.
