[HELP] Technic Landing Gear

[cavegod]

Hi all,

I need to have a functional landing gear mechanism that operates the gear doors (2x 4x4 plates) as well as the gear itself all in a confined space roughly 6x8 studs and 6 bricks high.

Any suggestions?

What is the total expected weight of the overall construction and what is the expected length of wheel leg?

Any suggestions?

First build something and show it here, then we can make suggestions and have tips.

We can't help if you don't show something to help on.

Start with the original sets that have landing gears (planes and space shuttle), see if that fits your space requirements, then we can discuss.

[cavegod]

the landing legs need to protrude about 4-5 bricks including the feet. It will weigh about 2-3kg.

I've not found an original set yet apart from the first Lego technic back hoe with the worm drives for the rear stabilizers.

As for building something here is the finalized moc
