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

      Element offset

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

      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 totalLength

Total length of nose landing gear, equals the distance form the middle of the bogie/axles to the axis of rotation of the pintle strut. Distance is measured while nose landing gear is fully extended.
