Bomarc,
Yep, the DC3 gear also stuck out and full breaking was available in a gear-up. In addition, our procedure was for the Capt. to do the landing from the right seat,(Co-Jo sitting in engineers seat or back), because the old metal blade would most often lodge right in the Capt seat if it came off.
This would appear not to be a problem with the composite blades on the 1900
Loks like a good job. Well done boys and girls.
