    @SpiritusRaptor lol I was going to suggest the same system, but I thought I'd just leave him with the one suggestion for now. That is the way to go though. Also, SR... have you tried out HellFireKoder's rotation mod? I think you might make use of something like that.

    A couple of other suggestions, if you mirror a nudged part, once mirrored select the nudged part and rotate it 4 times to reestablish connections, or if its complex save it as a sub. However a lot of the time I find I just need to nudge parts into place on both sides and I tend to do them at the same time eg... 10 taps up on the left, 10 on the right, 5 left, 5 right etc.

    @TheLatentImage that's a good point I'm just gonna wait to add the rear landing gear and as a temporary solution, for flight testing Ill just use stock gear

    @FrankieB it's a but of a pain in the butt... I know. But once you get the hang of it, it's not too bad. One suggestion that I have for you when dealing with nudge and rotators and stuff is to do all of you moving parts last. It doesn't take much for something to make one of those nudged rotators to get stuck.

    @TheLatentImage ok I see now

    @FrankieB ok, when your dealing with that sort of thing if you get your gear setup on one side and nudge the rotator and gear into position and then you mirror... it will mirror the stuff into the correct place on the other side but it won't move on the mirrored side. What you want to do is mirror it before you nudge the rotator or the gear into place. Then you will have to nudge each side into place seperately.

    Do your landing gear consist of rotators and multiple pieces and such?

    @FrankieB Only moves what is selected, but is better than the nudge in the game
