REFLECTOR: Retractable Gear Problems

[John Dibble]

I thought the stick was only to secure the nose gear in the down
position following an extension using the dump valve.  If there is a way
to use the stick to unstick the gear, that would have prevented my nose
gear up landing and I want to know how to do it.
