Guys, anybody have photos of the open position of the upper rear door?

I am trying to get a look at this for an Italeri 1/72 Chinook I am building. I want the ramp dpwn and a Landrover disembarking, but can't find a good shot of the upper door open.

Any help??

Thanks in advance,

Liam

Hi Liam,

The upper rear door actually slides into the main ramp when the ramp is put into the down position. So all u have to do is leave off the upper door of the kit and install the ramp.

Ya Liam, pepper is perfectly correct. The ramp crackes open about 6 inches then the sequence valve pulls the "Tongue" into the ramp then continues to fall to the full open position. Refresh my memory, are the ramp extensions included in the kit? I think they are so you will have to add them to the ramp if you are driving a Land Rover off. Good Luck.

Hi Liam, look at the earlier thread at the bottom of the page on Chinook payload. Some pics in that.

Here are some ramp pics for ya. The tongue slides into the base of the ramp at the bottom of each pic. Also you can see the ramp extensions. Hope this helps.http://www.chinook-helicopter.com/history/aircraft/Nederland/rnlaf.html
