Thanks for the input . . .

What I was leaning for in the "non-scale" comment, ableit not coming across in the best manner, was that maybe it'd be just best to forget the 100 degree rotation and just install some reliable retracts.

Maybe it's the pilot side in me coming out. It's kinda difficult to takeoff, knowing there's a definite design problem with the gear, and that I've got a better than even chance of the gear folding on touch down.
