Incorrectly predicting that future aerial warfare would take place at high altitude, Russians developed an advanced fighter that, because of it's long engine, sacrificed stability for high altitude speed and manoeuvrability. At the outbreak of war, this fighter suffered tremendous losses due to untrained pilots performing in high-altitude fighters in a combat campaign that took place at treetop level

Oh, disregard I see what you did...thanks for the explanation!
@Weaverfish thanks, what I mean to ask is that one of the rotators appears to be already activated, it sits at an angle with the thick part concealed in the wing, already rotated at an angle with the landing gear extended.
@ChiChiWerx Its two hinges put extremely close to each other, one of them retracts the landing gear into the wing & at the same time the second moves the gear back about 15 degrees.
So, I noticed that your landing gear rotators are angled so that they're better concealed in the wing when retracted...how did you manage that trick?
Yes, the cockpit view is really great on this one, it really adds!
This is the most first person-realistic plane on the entire website!
I love this!!! Russian planes:
-made with hammer, screwdriver, vodka strengthened glass, couple screws
-drunken designers
-can be made unnoticed in one's backyard
XD
@EpicPigster1 Yeah she does!
May I suggest something? Could you put the health of each sub-segment in the description? (ex. wings have 160% health or something like that). Other than that, she looks beautiful!!!
