After how long should you retry to wing fold to prevent motor burnout?

To prevent motor burnout during the wing fold process, it is essential to allow adequate time for the system to cool down and reset. The recommended time frame in this situation is 12-15 minutes. This duration allows the motors to reduce their heat buildup and avoid the risk of overheating due to repetitive use without sufficient rest.

Wing folding mechanisms in aircraft are complex and involve heavy machinery that can experience wear and strain through continuous operation. By adhering to this cooling period, you ensure that the motors are not subjected to excessive strain, which can extend their operational lifespan and maintain safety during aircraft maintenance operations.
