Thanks, Ed! Nice meeting you at Brickfest, BTW. (Did you notice your red
wedge slopes? Those parts, along with the canopy, bionicle heads/feet, and
wings are what inspired me to build the jet)

I agree. But since LEGO landing gear takes up much more room than real
landing gear, my justification is that the long retract covers are
functional only...were the jet to exist in real life, only the shorter,
sideways opening covers would exist. Just like castles aren't hinged in
real life. Does that make any sense?

| (...) Great fianlly meeting your there as well. Actually I hadn't noticed the wedge slopes (since I thought it was orange until I read your reply to the color question). Glad you're finding them useful. (...) That's what I assumed. (23 years ago, 23-Jul-01, to lugnet.build)
