As one who has survived a L-IVP gear retraction during take-off, I have to say that you guys are beginning to scare me with your talk of over-riding the squat switch and retracting the gear during a bad takeoff as a means of slowing down.???  Since one gear always breaks free first, what would prevent the plane from cartwheeling and would it be possible to survive???  I really doubt it.....so I hope that this discussion is all tongue-in-cheek.
Maybe a drag chute would be preferable....It might fit inside the new "strake" mod???  Any other options????
