Question for any Tornado GR.4 crews or techies out there
 

Evening all,

Geeky nerd question: I need some info on how the Tornado GR.4 gear retracts for a commission model I'm building. For the sake of everyone's sanity I reckon it's probably best to conduct this rather dull topic of conversation over PM! Any help gratefully received.

Ta!

Guzz.

Well, a techie will have to provide the details, but this head-on video should give you the general idea of how the main gear rotates forward around an angled pivot point as it comes in:



Some helpful information I can give is that the nosewheel doors are operated mechanically by linkages to the noseleg itself, without any jacks. The mainwheel doors are jack-operated.
