Toe in/out with conventional gear SS7

[jeffbock]

Any sage advice on the grease plate check for determining the toe in or toe out. I tried checking with both long strings and alternately my level with laser beam. Now realize I should have had the mains on a well greased sheet of metal to reduce and loads on gear
21 months, 1560 hours, and $XX,000, and I have a pretty neat looking SS7 with Rotax 912ULS. Thanks for the forum, Jeff

Hi Jeff,

I'm reluctant to advise anyone on open forum, because it usually starts a fire storm of adverse comments from all the "experts". I have built and rebuilt a lot of various aircraft with conventional landing gears, and it's been my experience that setting the toe-in/toe-out to neutral or straight ahead has overwhelmingly produced a more docile handling airplane on the ground. I have to admit, I've heard all the theories and tried them all, and you can't go wrong setting them straight ahead.

Good Luck

I absolutely agree with that too.

Mine are set straight ahead in flight attitude and it handles just fine.
