Thomas,

I had the same problem you are talking about.  There was no way the outback
gear was going to fit into the stub wing without removing the core material
from the gear doors.  Then I noticed a picture on the Options Catalog which
showed a LNC2 with the outback gear installed backwards from mine.  So, I
put a question out here on the list.  Hollis Helms answered my question and
told me about Orrin's plane.  That was the one pictured on the catalog.
According to Hollis, Orrin reversed the gear to take advantage of better
clearance.  Hollis said he tried it and it worked fine.  So, the very next
day I reversed my gear, and presto chango.....all my gear clearances went
away.  I also checked the gear to see if it changed the toe, chamber, and
vertical level positions.  Everything checked out fine!  So far, the only
down side that I can see is that you have to remove the gear door to change
the tire.....no big deal in my mind.

Hope this helps,
