Well...while I have a conventional gear.....if I had to approach this probl
em I would look for differences between the left and right gear.....first I
would place a level from the right sill to the left sill to confirm there
is a tilt. Then I would place a straight edge horizontally across the face
of each wheel to see if either have any toe-in or toe-out. Then place that
straight edge vertically to check for camber.=C2- I would imagine that bo
th the toe and camber should be pretty close to the same when you compare t
he two wheels. You could possibly lay a digital level onto each leg to comp
are both readings.

Good evening
I have a feeling that the main gear legs on my XS are slightly out of
line. I think its due to a couple of hard landings. When I looked at the
plane (looking at the front from about 8m away) in the hangar today, it
looks as if its leaning slightly to the right.
I have checked the sockets and the re-inforcing ply in the fuselage and
all looks to be ok.
My question is, how easy is it to fit new legs? There is a video on
youtube showing a guy changing one leg. It appears all he does is remove
the socket bolt, pull out the leg, then insert the new one and replace
the bolt, job done. Is there any re-alignment of any kind to do?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Arwel
