Default A friend of mine is building a Legacy and has a question....

Push airplane over wet newspaper and you will see what you have. Should be
neutral but sound like you have a lot of tow-in or out. I am assuming that
it is a nose wheel plane. Could be the caster on the nose wheel if it is.

Hey, ask anyone on the rec homebuilt group if they've ever built any
Lancairs and then ask them if they used a 1 degree toe-in on the main
landing gear for the 320, the Lancair 4 or the Legacy. I test drove mine
today and almost lost control of it in yaw on the runway because it's dead
nuts on center with the mains. No where in the manual does it say you
need toe-in, but I have a sneaking hunch that I need a half degree on each
main to keep it from being divergent. I'm going to just do it if I can't
get a response from someone who might know. The ****ing factory doesn't
even know....dumb ****s. They are about to go bankrupt and I can see why!


I forget what toe-in and how much I used on my RV-6....
