P51 landing gear

kakspat · 02-11-2004, 12:17 AM

I'm hanging a couple of my DW P51's from my roof and I want to display one of them dropping its landing gear. I searched the net without result to find out if the main gear drops down simultaneously, or one at a time.

I know many planes drop their main gear together, with their hydraulic system helped along by gravity, but in turn raise them independently.

Anyone here know the P51's deal?
