KR>wheel alignment and MMO

We've discussed wheel alignment in the past.  Here is what a tire should look like after one year and 80+ T.O's and landings if you have good wheel alignment.  This is zero toe-in / toe-out with good camber. https://www.dropbox.com/s/g052d68hr3hmdlp/tire.jpg?dl=0 This is a Desser retread.  I

This is the easiest way I have found to align the mains. It is how I aligned the mains on the Black Bird. http://www.groveaircraft.com/accessories.html See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics Peoples Choice at 2013 - KR Gathering in Mt. Verno

Correction: I had my logs out going over numbers for insurance application and I must make a correction to my earlier statement. I did rotate my tires on the rims on an annual inspection when I had the wheels off to grease bearings. At that time the tires had 146 flight hours since new and

Today I worked on the wheel alignment. I ran through it all once, only to realize that the plane would never be moving on the ground without a pilot, so did it all over again. But unlike yesterday, I've had a charmed life today. Now that the wings are (temporarily) mounted, the gear splayed a li

Hi Mark You'll probably also find that with a little toe-in as you wheel the beast backwards over several metres (say into a hanger) the wheels will work their way outwards and splay the legs until they build up sufficient flex to overcome tread friction and spring in again. This factor caused me
