Hear is the situation. I am roughly 3/4 of the way through building a rather
large space cruiser and I need some landing gear to support it. I have a
couple of retractable designs, but they won't work in the space I have alotted.
The gear must retract into a 6 wide X 12 long area, where the height is two
bricks (give or take, I haven't fully decided yet). The gear must also be able
to support the weight of the ship, I estimate 1-2 pounds. For reference, the
ship is about 90 studs long X 32 studs wide and 9 bricks tall.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
