jeffdude Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 That doesn't look like an F14 gear section front or rear. I see one section says L2 gear... Hmmm The plot thickens. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Greekbull Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Could it be.... Not enough to go off of I'm afraid. If you really look hard it could easily be. Definitely not the F-5...

Greekbull Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Well after we consulting the trained eyes of one of our squadron mates who happens to be in the air force. He believes its the gear of an F-4. If you look at the rear gear it's almost a dead ringer!

Grim_Smiles Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 From a model kit, but best shot I could find so far of a Japanese WWII Raiden landing gear: "Hurled headlong flaming from the ethereal sky; With hideous ruin and combustion down; To bottomless perdition, there to dwell; In adamantine chains and penal fire" (RIG info is outdated, will update at some point) i5 @3.7GHz (OC to 4.1), 16GB DDR3, Nvidia GTX 970 4GB, TrackIR 5 & TrackClip Pro, TM Warthog HOTAS, VKB T-Rudder Mk.IV, Razer Blackshark Headset, Obutto Ozone
Greekbull Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Upon closer inspection it can't be the Zero, F-4, F-16, or F-5...

uboats Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) Rudel's avatar should be the designer of A6M zero: Jiro Horikoshi from animation The Wind Rises So it should be A6M zero's gear with high probability :D Edited April 17, 2015 by uboats [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] My DCS Mods, Skins, Utilities and Scripts | Windows 10 | i7-4790K | GTX 980Ti Hybrid | 32GB RAM | 3TB SSD | | TM Warthog Stick | CH Pro Throttle + Pro Pedal | TIR5 Pro | TM MFD Cougar | Gun Camera: PrtScn |
agentdarnell Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Any hint on the era? Ww2, korea, cold war, or modern? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
King_Hrothgar Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) It's a landing gear of standard configuration from the 1930's to present day. Should be able to eliminate some of the speculated options though. Edit: Definitely not an F4U, F4F, F6F, F-4 Phantom, MiG-23, MiG-25, Su-17, Su-24 or F-111. Edited April 17, 2015 by King_Hrothgar
BlackLion213 Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 From a model kit, but best shot I could find so far of a Japanese WWII Raiden landing gear: The oleo design is interesting, it's pretty asymmetric which seems unusual. The J2M Raiden is the closest match I've seen, here is a picture (not a close-up, but best I could find): Also, the mounting pattern of the oleo to the mainmount matches Rudel's image. Quite an interesting aircraft, fast, powerful, and a match for late war US aircraft...like the Corsair :) . -Nick
Hummingbird Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) Personally, I really hope it's not the Raiden. It's one of the least aesthetically pleasing Japanese World War 2 aircraft I have ever seen. It looks like a P-47 Thunderbolt that got squished in half, length wise. Have to agree with that, I don't hope it's a Raiden either. I'm hoping for a A6M¨Zero or a N1K2J Shiden :) PS: I really hope it's a Shiden ^^ : Edited April 17, 2015 by Hummingbird
Hummingbird Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) Upon closer inspection it can't be any of these Japanese aircraft, the dimensions are off :-/ The torque stick dimensions are pretty weird to be honest, can't make them work in my head as I squeeze that oleo strut together :huh: Is he trolling us?? :P Edited April 17, 2015 by Hummingbird
King_Hrothgar Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) The only thing that really sticks out in Rudel's pic is that the lower bar perpendicular to the main strut is a little over half the length of the mostly parallel upper bar. The N1K2 pictured above doesn't match that pattern, the two bars are about the same length on it. The J2M looks like a closer match, but even that doesn't seem to line up right. Edit: I have to agree with Hummingbird, the dimensions don't look workable for a physical object. That strut couldn't compress much before the two bars bind on the strut itself and the bend for the wheel. Edited April 17, 2015 by King_Hrothgar
BlackLion213 Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) Upon closer inspection it can't be any of these Japanese aircraft, the dimensions are off :-/ The torque stick dimensions are pretty weird to be honest, can't make them work in my head as I squeeze that oleo strut together :huh: Is he trolling us?? :P I see what you mean, the asymmetry makes it mechanically awkward, the lower portion of the oleo strut needs to pivot downward towards the ground, but then it might contact the wheel cradle... Plus the upper oleo's pivot doesn't seem to have much motion either. Nothing like a mid-week riddle. Though we need something to think about, it's been quiet around here recently...need some news! -Nick Edited April 17, 2015 by BlackLion213
BlackLion213 Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Shape of the strut looks good, but oleos look symmetric on the Tony. -Nick
