Why not use activators?@DandruffCat
@ChiChiWerx That's right, lol. Had to get to 352mph
@ACMECo1940 The real deal brought each one in one at a time, that was the best I could do to simulate that
One of the landing gears rotates more slowly than the other.
Nice subject, nice build. The engine must be XML modded for 5x power or something as it accelerates like a scalded cat!
