that could be accomplished by designing gear that would
automatically lock in either the up or down position but
could only be unlocked from outside of the cockpit.

But one would be hard pressed to find a designer stupid
enough to design such a thing, at least on purpose.

I don't think it would qualify as "repositionable."


Even if it did, it would still also qualify as a bad idea.

I only brought the subject up as it was an amusing rumor
that had been circulating.
