How is the landing gear for the Technic Space Shuttle designed? Is there
anyone who is willing to scan in details of their instructions and E-mail
them to me? I am wondering if that is a design that could be easily
modified for my purposes.

Perhaps, but keep in mind that the 8480 landing gear is very
complicated.

It may be complicated, but if it functions correctly I don't see a problem.

You probably can copy all the details in it, but it will
still be quite hard to incorporate in a different model.


I haven't solidified my model yet, so incorporation is still possible, even
if I have to relocate the evacuation pods and nacelles.

And another thing, I don't think the 8480 landing gear can hold a space
ship as large as the one you describes.  It's not that solid.  You
probably need something more rigid.


I want to look at the construction to see what can be changed or adapted
to my design. Inspiration can come from many different avenues. I am just
trying to find an alternative to throwing something like part 3940 on the
bottom. There are too many other details worked into the model to skimp on
the landing gear.

I'm really looking forward to see the images!
