Hi! Dave,
Have you tried it ? I couldn't when rigged on Mono in the workshop without
the bungee. Admittedly there wasn't any
adrenaline flowing in those circumstances !!!! But of course it would fall
into place without the bungee so it would fail safe.
Good to meet up the other day, where did you get to eventually ?
Regards

Oh yes it can. The bungee only ASSISTS the retraction loads, so as long as
you are strong enough to operate the gear/flap lever (and you would have to
be pretty weak not to be able to) you will be able to deploy the gear, and
once deployed it locks into position by way of an over centre mechanism.
