Faster Landing Gear

If it took that much effort to move the landing gear, then a drill isn't going to work very well unless you have at least a heavy half-inch corded drill with a support handle to help as a lever.

Cordless drills are the cat's meow when it comes to stabilizers, but this sounds like it's way too much for that.

During a very large, whole house tile project we tried using various 1/2" multi-geared 120v drills to mix 5-gallon buckets full of thick, heavy grout. I burned up two of these drills in the early part of the project before finally trying/using my DCD995 Dewalt 20v brushless drill for the remainder of the project. There's no way our hands and arms could out overpower this drill. Had a neighbor friend who almost broke his wrist when he understimated the power of this thing. When used with a 4 or 5 amp battery pack IMO it's pretty much unstoppable.
