Default Alternative landing skid for Magnum?

Front right leg of landing skid of my magnum does not touch to the ground. There is a 1cm gap. I checked frame connection points, distances of the legs are symetrical. I don't know what i did wrong but looking for a alternative skids. May be alternative skids stop me to use zip tie on back legs to rise the back of magnum.

The rear "sag" comes form storing the heli on it's skids with the blades folded.

Something that can help, if haven't already, is install a third bolt in the center of the skid bar down through the landing gear.

As for your "twist" problem, the tubes can be very tight in the plastic crossovers, try putting some heat to them with a hair dryer to try to alleviate the twist.

Exactly what I did to alleviate some of the sag on my Intrepid...

I also have a length of double sided Velcro that I wrap around the skids behind the rear landing gear when storing the model with the blades folded. It keeps the rear landing legs from spreading under the weight of the model.
