easy extension of the gear.  Typically, I perform this maneuver by first, 
pulling
the power back and then raising the nose to maintain altitude, as speed
drops below the flap extension speed push the nose over and at the same time
lower the gear as you feel the lever move forward off of the up gate.   Works
a treat.
