    Cool.. hard to see straight ahead when taxi!

    Why does the undercarriage retract sometimes unevenly with one wheel in before the other?

    Imbalance in the flow of hydraulic fluid and pressure. During the war the P-40's always had the look of a ruptured duck when they retracted the landing gear. One leg always hung down while the other retracted.

    Yes, and each gear also turned 90 degrees and retracted to the rear, looking even more ruptured.
