Default RE: AKM SU-27 Flanker-Does Look Good

So here's the damage has been done, and here's what I came up with. It'll be fun covering around this, but at least the gear functions perfectly, and nothing rubs. One more side to do, then on to the front. I spent most of the day today working on this one side and getting everything to function.

Jim, Just a question about your struts. I see in the pics that you have the spring coil facing forward. Seems that while rolling, bumps would cause the spring coil to open when facing that way, If turned around, it might be better as the spring would close tighter for the spring action. What do the instructions say is correct?

P.S. Bob, the link above is a pic of an F-18 landing on a carrier with arresting hook extended.
