Looks like it might have been a C-172RG Cutlass, and I think the gear is electric, not sure what the emergency proceedure is, "shake it" in flight.

Appears that the people on the ground knew what they were doing.

What's the stall speed on a 172? As I recall, if they were lightly loaded (only one or two people) you couldn't hardly get them to settle out of the ground cushion. You had to be careful that you didn't run out of runway. We actually had to take a passenger along (with the student and instructor) for a couple of flights to see how the aircraft handled differently with a heavier load to get checked out in it. Of course, I only few the fixed gear versions. But they would fly at less than 80 mph.
