Longsword Progress
Posted By: Mid7night <pakrat961@yahoo.com>	Date: 1/30/07 8:51 p.m.
I'd like some feedback on my Longsword model, mainly on the landing gear. My main source for the gear is the HGN, page 102. The picture isn't entirely clear, so I took some artistic license, and here's what I got: Side: http://i18.tinypic.com/2mg13si.jpg Rear: http://i9.tinypic.com/35ddmhe.jpg Front: http://i15.tinypic.com/35iy5nm.jpg Top: http://i9.tinypic.com/2ia3j12.jpg UpFront: http://i9.tinypic.com/34445g6.jpg Here is a short video of the retract sequence: I put the two main gears under the engine nacelles, but forward of center rather than aft. And I put the center "nosegear" towards the tail, somewhat like an old taildragger, but without drooping the tail. This results in a sort of reversed-tricycle gear arrangement. It looks a little odd, I grant you, but it actually doesn't affect handling terribly. And since the Longsword is primarily a VTOL aircraft, I'm not too concerned with the takeoff roll. Any thoughts?
