ML,
I'd think twice before I installed a "spring down" type of retract. Remember, the wheel and strut are coming down and foreward into the slipstream. Unless you have a VERY strong spring the mains will have a difficult time locking and you'll end up landing on collapsing gear. Ask me how I know this.....
