Part of Fat Cub's upgrade was changing to 3/8 bolt gear. Fuselage fittings were installed using jig by reputable frame maker/repairer.
Installing used gear "V"s I find that the gear needs to be pushed/pulled ~1/4 inch to align the second gear bolt. Is this normal? Or, is it an indication that the used gear should be replaced?
