Tha animation of the landing gear is a pain in the posterior ... why couldn't Beriev just have made it a flying boat?

I hope that some designer will take up this project.

ON certain Russian planes - such as the Beriev and some Antonov turboprops, my mechanically challenged mind tries to figure out how that gear rotates with that extra lever from mid-point to the front of the nacelle....

Maybe these pictures can help.

Right after T/O

Airbourne with gear starting transition

A bad picture for this, but look just aft of the wing and you can see the main gear retracting.

Thanks for the photos - it gives me a better idea .... (I wish Beriev hadn't spoken to Antonov)

Does this mean that you are concidering making it? Also Beriev did concider making it a flying boat. Then they decided this plane had more potential than just a sea partol craft. They are making it as a pax plane, ambulance, SAR, and firefighter. It is an intersting platform for many uses.

I'm fiddlling with a "USMSB"* type model .... nothing fancy, a reasonable visual shape, doubtful flight dynamics, something for the tinkerer to play with.

Can you post it/e-mail it to me please. I would love to work with the dynamics and paint. I am not a good modeler though.

Let me get some (very) basic landing gear and texture templates....

I've yet to start cutting out control surfaces.

Do you work with the source file (FSDS2.23) or the model itself?

The model would be easier for me to work with. I am just begining to work with dynamics and paint, so I just wanted a project to play with. Thank you very much.

Okay, here's what I've got:

An amphibious corporate jet designed by Brian Gladden. It is a fictitious a/c, but deffinitely fun to fly. I believe I got it here, but I don't know exactly. Search for the designer name.

Felix! The Death Glider is the ship that flies around in the movie Stargate, chasing all those Abu Dabi types through the desert.

Since Felix is uninterested in making fantasy or space ships, is there someone out there who is?

BTW, found that Amphibious Corporate Jet on flightsim.com. A really nice .8 Mach at 50,000 ft.
