I am in search of similar systems. Something super basic and light to have a retracting front wheel. Steering is not needed. This example came from the Facet Opal, a very light but speedy flying wing.

Extra difficulty: It has to fit in between the legs of the pilot. So ... compact too. Mission impossible ??
