Default RE: American Eagle B-24 Liberator build

i know what you mean on the landing gear , mine were robarts first set specifically for the A/E kit
on the first try the mains were too long and the nose gear in my opinion is the nose unit for another aircraft
doesnt fit the A/E 24 dimensionally
but as you said have to work with what you have
i changed the wing a bit on mine by adding two spars and two wing spar boxes for strength
my landings are not that great
i also cut out a large area between the spars to install a large landing gear box for strength but also
to work out the gear angles you mentioned
i,m still very early in my build
Ben did you use the plans location for the main wheels when down
if so did your plane have the proper weight to hold the plane on the ground while taxing without
bouncing the nose wheel and also rotate smoothly on take off without a lot of elevator input
