Default That "no-GUMP" Scratching Sound

Enjoy, err, I mean cringe!

It brings back memories when I had to the same. Many years ago my
nose gear refused to lock down. What I vividly remember is the sound
of the prop hitting the ground. It was like a whip striking, nothing
like metal against rock. Since my rear wheels were ok, I did not hear
the same fuselage grinding sounds as in the video. Thanks for posting
the link.
