Because the gear legs are angled forward (in the tail dragger), altering camber also alters toe in and this is further complicated by the weight of the aircraft, the extent to which the tail is raised and the flex on landing.....lots of factors at work!!
I agree with Larry, zero seems to do just fine.....and it has the advantage of not forcing the legs closer together or further apart as you push or pull the aircraft around on hard stand. Think of the math...1/16" toe in means the legs are 1/8" closer per roll of the wheel unless the tyres break their grip..

Generally speaking the wider the better and the more length from mains to tail wheel the better. Toe in or toe out? My experience is neither. Why would I want my tires scuffing and wearing out prematurely.....snip _______________________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://tugantek.com/archmailv2-kr/search.
