the Cessna 210 that Terry and I operated many years ago out of the Fowler airport had plus and minuses. We modified the door with a jump door. Students would step out on the gear and hang on to the strut and release for the jump. On one jump (which I was on as a student jumper) the right gear failed to come down and lock. The jumpmaster gave all us students a quick lesson in rolling out of the plane. After the students left, the jump master got out on the wing strut and jumped up and down on the gear to lock it in place. He hoped. Then he jumped and left the poor pilot to test the results. The pilot said it was the best landing of his life. He slicked it in, the gear held.
