The landing gear was made to look like it retracts.  The problem lies in the
side door actuating lever - it's low on the fuselage, which gets in the way
of a landing gear bay.  In this series of pics, the landing gear was sort of
an afterthought (it shows, I know).  I'm going to address this issue by
moving the actuating lever to the top, thereby making room for "pontoons"
and a retractable gear.  This is precisely why I love working with this
ship...it's an ongoing project of modification and improvement.

Thanks for your input and question!
