Gearup, yes there are many pages with lots of colour showing each of the stages of the retract cycle. I find it hard to believe a LAME would not allow you to look at those manuals. The more intimite you can be with them, the better your chances are of diagnosing. Even small little problems will eventually lead to more costly major problems.
For under $50A those manuals are worth it. They are not the latest approved manuals, but for the earlier models, nothing has changed over the years. I wish I can help you with copies, but that would be breaching copy right laws and plus I'm strugling to find any time to do anything these days. I have 4 of my aircrafts down at the moment. Best of luck.
