Exclamation We are both correct

Yoav

Depending on the weight condition of the aircraft and the remaining hydraulic pressure, the Oleo struts compress or extend to different length. A very light plane will have the strut position as you show, but a heavy plane will be lower to the ground due to the strut compression.


Since I plan to add the fuel tanks and the 450 Kg bombs to the pylons, the plane will have a heavy look to it, so that is why I selected my version.


here are pictures of a Super Mystere lower to the ground ( looks like both are low on hydraulic pressure ).
