Still agonizing over cutting openings so I decided to start working on the gear geometry.
For hard carrier landings the gear carrier based aircraft needed to be longer then land based aircraft. The bearcat is double jointed for this reason. Here is a playblast of the proxy geometry to be sure everything will fit.

Another annoyance to add to the Maya 2012 list! It creates ridiculously large playblasts! The original I posted was over 350MB! The one above is a combination of three maya playblasts that were over 700MB combined. Camtasia mp4 got them down to just over 1MB! Nothing like 700:1 compression! lol
