Default Main Gear for 69"&49" QQ Yak.

I purchased the 49" and 69" yak at the Nall and the main gear on them are terrible. I called QQ Aircraft and talked with the lady and she sent me a new set for the 49" Yak but they are exactly the same. Cant even mount the wheel pants because the gear is bowed in so bad. Does anyone know where to purchase some gear for both aircraft with straight legs. I checked TNT gear and Graphtec and neither of them carry gear for these aircraft. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bowed in? Could it be that they're intentionally designed this way to allow for flex when you put the airplane's weight on them? Gear like that does tend to settle in after a while, I've had that on my Fliton Inspire. My 102" QQ Yak gear is great...

These gear are so bowed in that the wheel pants cant be attached without rubbing the ground. And the wheels dont want to roll easily because they are canted in, putting alot of pressure on the rim of them. I had a 85" QQ yak and the gear on them were straight.

This was kinda my thought too. My 102" QQ Yak is great as well. My Python is good too.

Is your landing gear toe-in anything like the one in the pic, or worse?
