Megan,

If the gear is Hydraulic, as you state, water (Hydrostatic) pressure at 37m would only be 4.7 Atmos / Bar. Much less than any Hydraulic pressure. How then would the wheels come down? Particularly since it is upside down, so would also have to overcome the weight of the gear.?

Now, I am really intrigued.
