Not a big problem but the reverse thrusters on the fleet's 727-2 do not close around the engines when you activate the reverse thruster. Just thought I'd mention it.

Depending on the version - the number 2 engine won't have it. The number 1 and 3 do.

I just tried on mine and you are right...they don't come out.

Some 727 facts...

The 727-100 and -200 versions used both the external "bucket - target type" system and internal "clam shell / cascade" type thrust reverser. As the 727 - 100 and 200 versions were modified and upgraded to make them more efficient and quiet (Stage Hush Kits) the "clam shell / cascade" type reverser became more prevalent. The 727 version which Andy refers to is the Super 27. The Super 27 has larger engines (JT8D-217C/219) and used a "bucket" type thrust reverser on the #1 and #3 engines. On the the Super 27 there typically is no reverser on the #2 engine and there are winglets installed. Btw if you have the paywear Dreamfleet 727 you can see the differences modeled. Blue Skies!!! cool
