landing gear

Has anyone had a problem of "excessive flex" in the rod gear? Our 6A was converted back to a 6 . at full fuel no crew in the level position the gear moves aft about 1.5" static. Half tanks or less it is at the point fore of the L.E. The gear just seems too wobblly.

Put the wood stiffeners on the gear legs. Gets rid of a lot of the wobble and makes landings a lot easier. Don
