Hey Matt,

I just have one picture and its not the best I'll admit however it shows the gear in the wing. I used the plans to get the general
spacing correct and from then on I just used my imagination. I did try to get the gear as close to the leading edge as possible with
the thought of keeping the tire in the highest point of the ribs. What you want to look out for is the angle in which the gear is laying
in the wing. Your gear has to sit at an angle, (tire lower) in order for the tire to tuck deep enough in the wing to be hidden. Likewise
you need to insure you have the correct gear plate angle when the gear is extended. You want your legs straight, not toed in or out.
I hope this is all making some sense to you. So angle that gear plate so the end towards the tire is down lower then the top portion.
