There's one thing, Dmitry - the landing gear isn't straight up and down, it's canted forward. An easy fix: bend it forward and then reinforce the attachment to the wing with C-A glue.

Here's a photo of mine that will show you what I mean.

Some other Eduard Hellcats

Thank you for your note, Tom. I've attached an image from instruction, so you see - I can't install it in any other way, only as it is. To fix this part 1 should be extended and then somewhere near part 2 gear should be cut to have ability to bend it. I'll think about this. It's bad that I didn't check this before.
