I think this is likely to be heavier than the
stock nose gear. Also this is a rather short
prop at around 64 inches.

Thanks for the 3Ds, Paul.

Well, the idea of a retract nose gear is certainly attractive. But like
everything else in engineering there are trade-offs.
And the down side is pretty far down.

I think, on balance, that the design you did earlier is better,
all-around.
