I've never really bought the theory for toe-in or toe-out and went with as zero-zero as I could get and zero camber when loaded. 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? Larry Flesner ------------------------------------ Conventional wisdom calls for a little toe in on a trigear and toe out on taildragger. The toe is only there to improve the handling characteristics. However, you pay a price for that toe in or out in tire wear and as Larry points out, the wide stance of the KR makes it handle so easily on the ground that sacrificing tire wear to improve handling is a waste of rubber. I built mine with some toe out. It handles great, but I also use up tires much faster than necessary. -Jeff Scott Los Alamos, NM _______________________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at https://www.mail-archive.com/krnet@list.krnet.org/.
