Yep, the gear looks short, the wheels look small. No way you could fit scale size wheels in the wing, and to make the gear scale length it would have to come out from the fuse (like scale), and the wheels still would not fit. As with many ARF's, the gear is good enough. The good part is that by having the plane sit a bit lower it will ground handle better. The stock wheels are so small that everyone who saw the plane would say "wow, those wheels are tiny!" I can live with "the gear looks a little short." It is unlikely anyone could do enough mods to make the gear look correct on this plane, so I'll live with it and enjoy it.
