Matt-- In the olden days, Don Goetz reported that he did something similar to what you suggested, only I don't think it was necessarily a stall; He just pulled up into a nose-high attitude until the airspeed bled off, then pushed over to let gravity lock the NLG down. It seems like having an AoA system would help to keep one from stalling during that maneuver. --John On 4/8/2014 6:00 AM, Lancair Mailing List wrote: Subject: Re: [LML] GEAR WON'T COME DOWN- PART ONE From: Matt <mattinlosangeles@yahoo.com> Date: 4/7/2014 7:47 AM To: lml@lancaironline.net What about climbing to some high altitude and doing a steep stall in the hopes of reducing the forward motion of the plane so the nose gear will come down and lock over center.
