the pitch change out of the way without much fuss, you are in landing

and the gear is down and locked. If you start messing with a slow, cautious

somewhere along the way and the gear won't end up down and locked. I also see
the potential for one of the outriggers not making it into the down latch if
the handle isn't operated smartly.
