OK, I've researched this a fair bit and am still hearing two definite
different views. One one hand you have those that swear you need toe-out and then on the other you have (among others- these are the few I'm certain about) Cessna 100 series, Huskies, and Pitt's that all are set with slight toe-in by the factory. Granted these are set without weight on the aircraft and the toe-in may change slightly when under load. I think it boils down to what wins when you start to go into a turn with a taildragger- does the toed-in outside wheel "drag" and thus want to straighten you back out or does the toed-out outside wheel get weight transferred to it and tend to straighten you out (vs tightening the turn)? Anybody with some definite answers based on physics? There's lots of emperical and experiential opinions out there, anybody with some more factual answers to the argument? J oa |
