I know the plane looks like a new user plane, but it is not, I was just testing a landing gear idea.
VTOL up/down to retract gear. they both work
it is quite agile though
Note to Devs:
the resizeable wheels attach point acts like suspension and bounces around the wheel when touching the ground. it makes the wheel somewhat unstable. I don't know whether you intended this, but i thought it was a bit odd.

    @AndrewGarrison oh, ok. I was just wondering why we had built in suspension on the wheel, And springs for susspension

    @BritishNarwhal Yes, unfortunately the wheel physics simulation we use must have built-in suspension.
