Default RE: Diamond Dust-Landing Gear

Ive considered using something along the lines of .10 size retracts. I think Robart has something like this, and there was a company down in Florida (I cant find the link) that was making .10-.40 size air retracts. If anyone remember that company or has a link, let me know....

The idea here was gear up for launch - and they are extended for landing only. Maybe use disk type racing wheels or narrow profile foam wheels (electric wheels). Getting the gear in the right place for a stable, straight launch might be tricky on a DD. Positioning compromise might be more acceptable for landing only.
