Yes, of course that's what I meant to say. Bearings too tight; I know better
than that.

I've done this for different reasons - I bought a set of diehl mains
used from someone on this site, and they were taildragger legs, but I'm
doing a tri-gear plane.
I put the gear on the back of the spar, but I am now grappling with the
tire-alignment issue
The gear I got was pre-drilled,

Now we are getting somewhere. After reading Larry's message regarding gear
location, I took a long hard look at the gear location and Diehl gear leg
attachment at the main spar. The axles are at 4-1/4 inches from the aft
face of the main spar on my KR-2. Compare that to 7 inches for Joe Horto

Robert, I should also mention that Pazmany wrote a great book on gear
design, but you probably don't need to know all about airliner gear to do
this job on a KR. One excerpt from his homebuilding book (not the gear

Lift the tail so the plane is around level, put a board under each main wing
stub spar with a jack under the boards, and jack away. To make it safer, use
a short strong saw horse and lower the wing onto the saw horse under each
