  1. beautiful work on the rear gears! absolutely perfect! as for the nose gear, there are some things that are clearly off, but seeing how quickly you did the rear gears, i have no worries. just a note, most people don't realize that those two cylinders above the tire actually do some work to steer the plane, you can see in this photo, the cylinders pivot side to side, pushing the tire here's a shot of my own nose gear

  3. Zroman This would mean that if Heinz got, for example, his nose landing gear within 100 meters of its correct location (given the plane is only ~60 m long), that your nose gear would be within 0.001 millimeters of its real location, or 1 micron! You have made this claim from a picture that shows the highly detailed landing gear on a reference drawing that has the outline of the wheels. Somehow I think that photos have been used in the process, but photos are not very accurate. Unless you took the photos yourself and you know the sensor size of your camera and the exact zoom length of the lens, and have accounted for this and lens distortion, and have included several rulers in the shot for scale, photos are not going to be accurate references from which to design the plane. They are useful though to get the shape right and should be used in conduction with drawings. You are complaining about the accuracy of the work of Vezirgannis, and you are advising that the windows are painted on? Painted windows look horrible and are only as accurate as the texture used. Anyhow how do you suggest getting the interior to line up with the painted windows that you suggest moving around? Why are you complaining when you are making your own 787?
