Hi Barry
Checked all that, the body is the correct 90° body that works perfectly. It clears formers and ribs with plenty of air to breathe.

The problem is that the retracts will retract about 15° forward. So if we rotate the strut to be straight in the retracted position, then the wheels will have a 15° toe-out, the tracking will be crap and the wheels will probably come off at touchdown *g*. The strut orientation is really bad as you said.
And yes, my friend is pissed bigtime, because this is not the way an ARF with "scale gear" should work out....
