This is my first set of landing gear using pistons, its pretty stable on the runway, yoy migth have to use a little roll due to there being more drag on one side. Cruising sleed 170Mph. Landing speed : 90 Mph he landing gear is gery rugged and cant take a hit when landing use Vtol up to retract, also use trim if needed. Have fun flying - ThePrototype

    @wello you need more springs the more weight you add, plus a simple mechanism, dont just use a spring by itself.

    I’m trying to make landing gear that can handle 100,000lbs per wheel, it has 6 wheels if you are wondering. And everything is exploding. Idk why. 𠃍😀厂

    @wello thanks man, this is a really old build, the piston retracts wayyy tooo much to actually work irl. Thanks!

    Pretty good landing gear I’d say, but it can’t stand a 600,000lbs plane landing at 750 mph and stopping. Still, you have stated that.... So... GOOD LANDING GEAR! :)
    ps: good design!
