This plane began as a proof of concept for a custom retractable landing gear system. I built a WW2 style light bomber/heavy fighter around it and was so pleased with the result that I decided to share it.

To retract the front landing gear, pull down the VTOL lever, activate group one, wait for at least one second and then activate group two. To land, deactivate group one, push the VTOL lever into the middle position, then activate group one again.

As always, please rate, comment and have a look at my planes. Have fun!
