    Why the nylon ball, why not just a nice nylon/teflon block at the contact point amd don't worry too much about the scrape ?

    What I'm suggesting is a Nylon ball, about 2" in diameter.  It would be mounted on the nose of the Cozy in place of the "hockey-puck".  Should the gear fail (or, fail to be lowered) the Nylon ball would allow the nose to "roll" rather than "scrape" down the runway until the A/C could be stopped.
