I had no end of trouble with the main gear on this model,for the designers to expect the tracking to be controlled by that lever fixedto a silly little square was ridiculous. They did introduce a mod in the formof a bar fixed to the side frame but that too was ridiculous (don’t know ifyours has this little modification)?
My solution was to introduce a tailored block bolted to thecross beam for the leg to fit into, the centre bolt fixes the block to the beamwhilst the two outer bolts are for tracking adjustment. I also converted thegear and doors to hydraulic to get over the problem of the gear and doorsrefusing to work properly in the considerable air stream after take off.
