Thanks Tobbe. I wanted to do foldable landing gear, but they just weren't
practical, it's too much stuff to pack into such a thin area, especially
considering the requirements of making the wing itself, you need two plates'
thickness just to hold the wing-plates together. With my Zero, I needed
more than that because I used hinges to create a shallower angle for the
wing shape that you just can't get with the normal pieces. The hinges
require 3 plates' thickness. Believe me, accurate folding landing gear were
my first thought, but for stability, looks, and overall practicality, this
was the only way I could see to do it.
After I had everything uploaded, I noticed a mistake on my model. The rear
landing gear is on backwards. Kind of sucks, but I guess when I last stuck
the gear on I had it turned around. I don't think it detracts from the
model, but once you're aware of it, it sticks out. Maybe some day I'll go
back and re-take the pictures.
I still can't figure out how to post to lugnet.announce.moc, at least not
using Outlook express. Maybe if I use the website to post I could do it.
As for cross posting to .build, I figured since this group is practically
dead, and since I couldn't post to .announce.moc, I hoped more people would
get a chance to see the moc that way. Sorry to break ettiquite.
