Having read the Wynne articles in the BPA newsletter concerning landing gear and CG location where he cautions builders not to have the landing gear aft of the wing leading edge, I have the following questions: My fuselage is already built with the white ash cross struts on the floor bottom. I am planning on using the split axle gear with hydraulic brakes. How can I move the axle forward and still use the same fuselage mounting gear location for the landing gear? Can I shorten the forward landing gear tube and lengthen the rear tube? Am I missing something?Tim White (Long fuselage, C-85-12)________________________________________________________________________________Date: Fri, 18 Feb 2011 09:21:13 -0600
