Working my way thru this build, I have come to the point of jigging up the landing gear axles for LG fabrication. Following the manual, I find a discrepancy on the true axle end distance from CL.

Doing pilot-level math, it looks like CL-AxleEnd adds up to 37-3/4“ on the plans. The Manual calls for 36-3/4“. Which is it?

As always, thanks in advance.
