To determine the wing wheel well positions I set aircraft on a flat surface with the gear down. I then adjusted the length of the main gear struts by moving the adjustable axels and measured water line at the tail and nose of the aircraft. I like to have about 1/8” of nose down rake between the tail and nose. After this adjustment I checked to make sure the right and left gear struts were the same length.

I used a piece of balsa as a template to rough cut the wheel wells out using my usual hot wire method. I made the first cut smaller than the final size so I can adjust the size later after the wing skins are glued on. Notice that I have not cut the struts off yet so I can make fine adjustments on the final fit.
