Ha Ha!!! Certainly not the first to do that! 8)

I even know a certain Red Heeler who got clipped on for a ride outside. He didn't care.

Well when you are about 200' in the air the gear is about 1/2 way up, Then when you land abruptly it more or less goes the rest of the way!! [-X [-X all by itself!
Those little cables and Hyd cylinders don't like landing with the gear 1/2 way between! :shock:
