I stood the fuselage on its nose to make working on the landing gear easier. The lower struts were cut to the right length. The total length of each strut, bolt center to bolt center is 20-3/4" when at their shortest. When the landing gear is unweighted the wheels have a positive camber as in pic 2. Pic 3 shows what the negative camber will look like when the suspension is fully compressed. ie. firm landing.
