I do like the ones in the pictures, however, because they use the parts in
two directions, which would give the ship a bit more stability than just
using them in a single direction.

One thing that's not apparent from the pictures is that the hinge
arrangement locks the landing gear from rotating -- it can only extend and
retract.  Which is not something you'd notice from just looking at it; you
have to play with it to tell for sure.  Like I said, very cool!
