A couple questions regarding the landing gear. 1) Is it possible to permanently lock the gear in the down position, in case I don't want to change to Robarts? 2) I am a complete novice when it comes to retractable gear. Only retracts I had was when i landed to fast and to hard (oops). Could a complete retract novice be able to change out the stock retracts and install Robarts of another brand of mechanical retracts.

Look closely at my name, it says it all. I really am old and slow.

Thanks for input
