Pining should solve the problem (I hope)

There is not THAT MUCH, but enough to "blot" the sit IMHOWayne wrote:Wheel pinned and angled correctly. However the aircraft is now leaning slightly to the left when viewed from the front, a combination of the fix and the 50g or so of lead packed behind the cockpit.
The kit could really do with a set of metal undercarriage legs but no use complaining now.
OMG I think you are right Brianbcauchi wrote:Wayne be careful, i hope i am not going to put my foot in it but judging by the photo you sent that the drawings/photos marco posted, i think that the wheel on the right had the correct position and the one on the left was slanted too much. If you see the drawings you will realise that the wheel does not slant at the same angle of the undercarriage legs but less. Actually looking at your model from behind, the one on the right was the correct position and you needed to change the one on the left. Just my opinion judging by the pics and drawings.

model suspended, wheels appear to be aligned correctly
Perfect!!!
model at rest, flexing is messing up the alignment

Sublime Ideabcauchi wrote:Wayne try to 'cheat'. Try to find one or two strategic places where you can place a drop of glue to retrain this motion of the wheel leg when the weight is on it. You need to 'fix it' in place as you need it to be when the plane is at rest. So either glue it to the wheel well sides or to some other convenient location in the wheel well. Or maybe there is a support for the wheel leg u can use like the retaining springs for example. You need to find something to reinforce the position of the wheel legs.
I agree 101% 
IT'S DONE

OBVIOUSLY IT DIDN'T WORK......EXPIRED BY SOME 15YRS
That's a good idea... might give it a try. When painted it shouldn't show too much..skyhigh wrote:Wayne may be there is another way ,,, how about a thick leed wire as wage here , between the leg,,

??????? you know what your next build is Brian, thanks for your input as well however as you can see from the image above, there is unfortunately no where to glue the legs to. Didn't want you to think that I ignored your advice (or anyone else's for that matter)!Wayne wrote:That's a good idea... might give it a try.
