Model IV-1200 factory tube landing gear alignment discussion

[rv9ralph]

On my Model 3, I had toe in on the left and neutral on the right. On landing the aircraft wanted to divert to the right so hard the I could hardly keep it straight... it was a struggle.

To measure I used a straight edge (6 foot level) on the rim of the wheel. To get an accurate line, I used 3/4" nuts as stand-offs from the rims to the straight edge.

By whatever means, make both neutral.

The method of correcting by putting a pipe on the axel and tweaking to straighten in not intended to bend the axel, it is intended to twist the landing gear.

but if you have the grove gear, I think you can get shims from kitfox to kick the wheel in or out.
