this is the first time ive heard of flitons gears being shaped wrong and ive personally owned 3 of their planes. they are all pressed the same, so how can this one be any different? the pictures definately show the neg. camber being from your assembly technique and angle of insertion. i would email edson directly and he will take care of it for you. hes been real helpful for me. edson[at]fliton.com

goodluck anyways, hope it works out.
