Landing gear almost done

All four retracts now have arms and swinging brackets that the vertical "foot" mounts to, complete with pivots and end stops. I think I might ditch the slider mechanism after all; save the added complexity for little gain. The polycarbonate arms provide a little spring anyway and I'm hoping to get soft controlled landings. Fixed vertical sections (the "feet" or "shins"?) are next, then the servos/mechs.
