Hello list,



Need some help and advice for the angle I should use to bend 4130 landing gear.  I am fabricating my own landing gear.  I know some of you may respond that I should just buy the +$400 set from TNK.  I am using 3/4" axles and they only supply the gear with 5/8" axles.



The cage sockets are at a 30 degree angle.  I'm not sure if the bend results in the lower portion of the 4130 gear is exactly perpendicular to the ground or if it a little less than 30 degrees giving it a little bow out.



The pictures I looked at on the TNK website (Mark IIIX) have a little bow out.  Was that design or a few rough landings?  



If any of you have the 4130 landing gear and can get a measurement for me, I would greatly appreciate it.  Pictures would be great too.

I know many pilots and a few true aviators. There is a distinct difference that I have the greatest respect for.
