Off point but, toe in / toe out is for "steerable" wheels... i.e., when you take your high performance car into a hard corner, the toe as well as the camber sets the stance of the car through the corner. When exiting, the toe helps bring the wheels back to center along with the camber. Main wheels on an aircraft are stationary relative to the suspension, so I would think that camber might be more significant than toe. Again, JMHO.

Glad I did. 650 hours and my KR handles great on the ground. Tire wear is non existent. I can't imagine that any aircraft using toe-in or toe-out could handle any better than my KR. Just wondering, do aircraft like Mustangs, Corsairs, DC3, B17, use toe-in, toe-out, or neutral?
