The LHS helped me bend my gear back with a vise and a torch. I can't believe the difference! It didn't seem to be bent that far back, but now the front of the plane is sitting up so much higher!. The front wheel hit so hard the screw that locks the landing gear in place was destroyed, and the gear was really bent, even though it didn't look like that much. I think this should do the trick. Thanks Minn!
