Make the small gear bay more useful

[iphone_max]

As you may have noticed, landing legs can bend the feet to match the ground, so they don't rest on a little tip.

Something which, unfortunatly, doesn't happen with landing gears, leading to situations where you veer off-course, crash, and those poor kerbals die (R.I.P. Jebbie;.. Anyway, since 0.25 is getting closer and closer, maybe this is something to think about. An example of the landing gear, being on an angle is the F-18 Hornet, as seen here.

It would be nice if you could adjust the height of the gears, too. (so it doesn't look like it has those tiny, T-Rex paws as landing gears)

Thanks for reading, please leave your opinion below.

Yep landing gears need some love. Adapting the hight is the biggest issue to me, because of tailstrikes etc. Also i dont like it as a physicsless part. Considering the size of a small plane it's strange that such a "big" part is not represented in it's mass

Height is indeed a big issue, cause if you were to make an exact replica of an F18 for instance, its more like a belly slider than a real fighterjet, ofcourse you can use girders, but that just looks awful :/
