Default RE: ESM electric retracts?


ORIGINAL: da Rock

Look at the struts in these two pictures. Notice the forward rake?
I agree on the Hellcat there's a noticeable rake forward, however, on the Corsair the relative relationship between the extended gear and the wing (angle) looks like a 90 degree. The fact the airplane is sitting on the ground makes for the forward rake. But the gear would be an 90 deg "retract"
