IronButt. It certainly can be nibbling the edge, ever noticed how touchy the pitch can be at times when landing? Have to push forward once the sink rate has been checked to do a Boeing roll - similar technique but for a different reason when landing the Sky Pig way back in the Simmons' days. All too high tech for me too really, have to confess that I got most of it from the back of a breakfast cereal box.
I don't know , If I just dont want to be disappointed by just the simple explanation "the wheel wells were to small so they just had to make the trucks fit somehow"
The "techno-savvy" explanation seemed so much cooler though still hoping its true though. Seems an awfully elaborate eexplanation to conjure up. These bogeys are small tho. compared to the rest of the airframe. Besides what's all this "sky pig" stuff about?
