I had two mechanical issues. One was the left wheel was hitting the wheel well on retract. I didn't notice this when I was building the airplane, it was factory assembled. And they messed up the polarity somewhere because the retract has to be plugged in opposite to coordinate with the other two gears.
I plugged the screw holes with 1/8" dowel pins and redrilled the mounting screws. Now the gear is in right.

The other issues is the clamps for the stabs do not tighten enough. Fully torqued I can still pull the stabs away from the fuselage. Not sure how to fix this, but tape works.
