Armorhide and the Stinger: Hero Factory MOC

Description

Well, there it is. My MOC that has been in construction for over a year. It joins the ranks of my popular Mini-heroes series, and it might be the last one.
About 80% of the build was done in a couple of weeks, but the design was plagued with irreparable design flaws. Essentially none of the functions work properly. Fixing them at this point would mean building an entirely new MOC. However despite it's many flaws it looks nice and you guys might enjoy it. This MOC is going to have an unusual disclaimer that I'm not going to accept critique of this as I fully understand what's wrong with the build. I think it's in no way up to my current abilities as a builder, but considering that the series was popular I thought you guys might want to see it anyway.
The actual functions are many. A moving tail-hook, moving exhaust vanes (nonfunctional), air brake, and a pneumatic system to control the landing gear (arguably functional). There is a single cylinder connected mechanically to the front and rear landing gear, with the use of a hand crank and a valve in the rear landing gear bay you can retract or extend them. There is also a lock that I added, otherwise the plane would eventually settle onto it's stomach after a while.

The Stinger is a light ground attack aircraft operated by the Hero Factory. It's designed to deliver rockets, bombs, or cruise missiles all in a single mission. It's vertical take-off abilities give it a high sortie rate and allow it to operate from anywhere. Despite this it has been plagued by mechanical issues, however it's use has kept it in service.
Armorhide is a pilot for the Hero Factory's Zodian division. He's a bit of a gun nut and always keeps his guns by his side.
