Auto landing gear

Hello all,
I've been searching for quite awhile now, but haven't found the solution (yet).
I have a Hex with a PixHawk FC (running APM:Copter V3.3.3 Hexa) and a Taranis TX.
My landing gear is working all right this far:
With CH 8 on a 3 position switch, it's "down" on 991 pwm and "up" on 2010 pwm.
However: CH 8 in mid position (1502 pwm) it should act on "auto".
In Mission Planner I've left the servo pwm values on default.
So my problem is: How can I get it to react in mid position (auto retract)
Thanks in advance.

                  I have tested the RTL, land and auto modes, but not WITH auto landing gear.

                  I'll have to wait also, because I've sprained my foot and have sit on chair for a week. :-(

                  Please let me know if you got results. 

                  • sorry, i forgot to mention, all these functions were launched when a 3 way switch for LG on my radio was on the retracted / up position.

                  • Okay. i did a test flight for my landing gear functions.

                    Mode RTL: LG is deploying at the beginning of landing phase of RTL.

                    Radio FS: LG is deploying at the beginning of landing phase of RTL.

                    Mode LAND: LG is deploying at the beginning of landing phase.

                    btw. this was the first time i allow px to do auto landing. Super smooth landing, land mode is permanently staying in my radio´s mode options.

                    Thanks to developers for this great function. :)

  • Nobody?

    I've tried different altitudes and up/down speed, but nothing seems to trigger the landing gear with the TX switch in mid position.
