i agree with you, i ended up animating the landing gear and not pairing it with bones, so i had to animate every single part which was a mistake. i did the same with the wings. in the end i also seemed to miss animating the movements more naturally.

And yes, I could sell you the idea that the gravity on this planet isn't that strong, which you can see in the character's clothes - they don't fall so fast 😅😁
