The F-18 does have a lot of doors but the only doors of concern for me are the two large main doors. There isn't a lot of room under the landing gear plate to put a adequate size cylinders. I have an idea that will come later. It involves running a large robart or JMP cylinder from above the main gear plate via a drilled hole and using a rod to extend the reach. It is the only way I can think of to get the right power to those big doors.
