MJ, Mike, Joel, and Zach. Drilled 1/4-inch holes in Ti gear legs and axles, installed wheels. Discovered that gear leg bolt location on electric motor mount is installed 1 inch lower than standard, resulting in 18 inch dimension from bottom of fuselage instead of 16 and 11/16 called for in the plans. Consulted with Sonex Tech support and confirmed that 18 inches will work fine. They will notify electric Xenos builders of the need to alter the hole location in the gear legs.
