Mine are pushed forward about 100mm. The gear legs attach point are in fact inside the fuselage, not the stubwing. They are held to the main spar by L-shaped brackets. The brackets are made of cast aluminum, although this is not the best idea.
Without that setting, the aircraft would be much, muchmore difficult to handle, especially considering the relatively narrow undercarriage.

Hi Netters, Have a problem with weight and balance and would like to move your wheels forwards( or backwards) ? A friend had to move his wheels 4 inches forwards. He used a 3/8" bar , the same width as the gear leg. This was bolted to the place on the gear leg where the axel usually sat.In his case it pointed forward, parallel to the ground. He moved the axel forward 4 inches to this new location.His ground handling problem was solved but it did look a little peculiar. I guess that you could do this forward, backward or if you required more ground clearance, straight down. It proved strong enough. Regards Harold Woods Orillia, ON.
