In a Bonanza if you get into trouble they
tell you to put the gear down and forget the doors. When the gear goes
down even at pattern speed it feels like some one put the brakes on
although the brakes with those tires don't have that much authority on
the runway. :-))

The best way to slow a retract down is to put the gear down in the air, and
pick it up again in the flare. :-)
