109 K4 Landing Gear
« on: February 03, 2007, 06:39:12 AM »
I noticed something earlier when I was looking at a film I took.

The 109K4 in Aces High has open wheel-wells. I was under the impression that the K4 had full enclosed wheel wells (to go with the retractable rear wheel) to improve the aerodynamics of the aircraft.

This is a small thing of minimal importance, I just thought I would raise this for discussion.

I believe they removed the doors due to the rough field conditions the aircraft were operated in.
