Great footage on how the nose gear retracts! I had not thought about the debri factor. I took a rear blade nick and do not want to go through that again! Operators on Swerringen/ Merlins were removing the door panel on the mains and it made a big difference on drag at take off. We did beef up the aft wheel well panel to prevent oil caning at cruise. Thanks for the good info.
