Hi,
This is my first post, so I hope I do this right. My problem is that my inspire 1's landing gear on the left side is slowly shifting outwards making the aircraft propellers crooked. I was curious if anyone else has run into this issue. The Inspire 1 has never been crashed or tampered with, it just seems like something in the way it was constructed is shifting causing the problem, but i cant quite figure it out. I'd rather not send it in and have to wait 2 months for a repair so I thought i'd check here and see if its happened to anyone else. I've attached some images for reference. [url=]Picture[/url]

the small struts are used to keep the motor(propeller) horizontal.check it out.

Thanks for the suggestion! From what i remember the struts are glued in... is there another way to adjust them safely?

I had the same problem after a hard landing.  The fitting that attaches the small diameter landing gear strut to the large horizontal tube is held in place with a single screw (same size as all the other screws).  You will have to peel back the "Void" label to get access to it.  I bought my I1 used, so not sure if have any warranty anyway.

Was the screw loose?  Did you void your warranty?
