The nose gear strut is extended in order to be consistent with the loaded wings (even thought in my opinion the loaded wing flex angle is very exaggerated and looks a bit odd).
I Just bought a JC Wings 777-300ER Flaps Down in the same scale of 1:200, and It's an Awesome Plane. I also have the KE one flaps down too, but that's 1:400. The Tall Landing Gear i also find an issue, but overall a pretty decent design. BTW My 1:200 is JCwings and not Gemini. I have the compressed gear on mine.
the wing-flex is extremely exaggerated for a landing configuration. This kind of wing flex you might not even see during cruise. The flaps down configuration is nice but the wing-flex makes it look like a toy. Unfortunate.
It seems like flap down ones have longer front gears and a higher wing tip, seems to be flexed
Actually I personally think the flaps down version is much more cooler
Yes, it only looks good in landing/take off mode

The wings look like taking off with full load!

The overheight nose gear leg and sometime oversized wheelhubs is a bit troubling! Generally, I love GJ/JC very much.
@@ktshobbies Same here.
The wingflex is pretty ridiculous. The tall landing gear is the reason I sold my previous version of this and why I will never buy another Gemini 777
I agree. That’s the reason I only have one GJ200 777 flaps down. I wanted to buy the new KE 77W flaps down, but gave up in the end.

Agree! It looks like a heavy take off rather than landing.
