In this case I need to translate the lower linkage and also rotate it. Are
there any existing examples of how to combine these motions in the

Yes, take a look at the animation code for the Fowler flaps on the
172P in
This is a great example. The 747 flaps use both as well. The gear uses
translation on the gear compression value from yasim to stay above the
pavement, as well as multiple gear retraction rotations (for the way the 747
gear retracts).
Don't forget to be careful about the order (which you do

Yes, absolutely. Here are the animations

Plib doesn't include a scaling transformation -- when I asked Steve
Baker, he said that it would screw up all of the FOV code. You'd be
better to open the model in a 3D editor and scale it in advance.
Scaling can also screw up normals/lighting. As David suggests, you
