I did have an RG as I rolled toward the ditch all I could think of was "Please Dear Lord whatever happens SAVE THE MT PROP!" raising the gear would not have done that for me but a nose gear only could have.
I did put a hole in the keel beam to lock the nose gear down by hand if it was ever needed but it never occurred to me to put in a hole to UNLOCK the mose gear in case a sudden stop was needed! :-)
