The instructions talk about drilling a 6mm hole for the stock axle. I'm using the Dubro 3/16" axles that need a much larger hole for mounting. The hole would bearound 8mm. I wanted to mount the axle a little further up to make sure there was enough material left around the hole.
I now had three reasons to shorten the legs.
- less camber
- more material for mounting the Dubro axle
- it reduced the weight by 2/10ths of an ounce
I'll be running a 30" prop so clearance is no issue. I chose to shorten the gear legs by 3/4".
I made sure the gear legs were the same length after they were shortened.
I ended up taking about half the camber out.
