This should be fairly easy (famous last words)... > > or model for such an effort. > > Can't the model for the gear-handle be "borrowed" from the C310? Which c310? I looked around and all I saw was a funky green light that said "gear" you could push. I'm googling now for some C182RG cockpit photos... Found one good one at http://ac.matra.free.fr/Images/TDB-FGNZC.jpg (parent page is http://ac.matra.free.fr/LeParcAvions.html ) The trim wheels and cowl-flaps lever are on the center pedestal by the mic. Where is the gear lever? The only candidate I see is the silver lever under the pilot's yoke... Also, does the -182RG have some kind of gear indicator to show its up or down and locked? Also, are you using CVS flightgear? > > I have enough work to do on the normal c182 without needing to worry about > > retractable landing gear. That applies both as a pilot and a maintainer! Stuart, Would you be willing to let me add an RG version on top of the standard C182? Ron ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
