I'd suggest it's not necessary for the landing gear to lift the craft - just to
hold it up. If it's only operated while there's no weight on the craft, it
becomes much easier, you only need some kind of locking mechanism so the motor
isn't taking the weight of the craft.
LEGO has done this pretty neatly in the Black Hawk / Sky Stormer set (8425).
Check the building instructions at http://www.brickshelf.com/scans/8000/8425/
It's hand-operated, but could be quite easily adapted for motorised operation.
Hope this helps
