      Element retractAngle

Retraction angle of the nose landing gear. Equals a rotation around the global z-axis in degrees. 0 = retraction to the front; 90 = retraction to the left; 180 = retraction to the rear; 270 = retraction to the right.

      Element extAngle

Angle between the full extended and the full retracted main strut.

      Element offset

Distance from the upper end of the main strut to the axis of rotation of the pintle strut.

      Element extractedAngle

Angle of the main strut in extracted position around the landing gears y-axis. Defaults to 90 degrees which is vertal.
