Hi Buz,
In my manual for toe-in it states 2.25" over 57.5" for each side, 1 in 60 I though was app. 1 Deg. there for the manual would be over 2 Deg. would it not ?

Pete, your math is right. When we recently adjusted Linda's I think I remember using 1" at 58" for 1 degree. I don't have the manual in front of me, but the numbers you quoted would give over 2 degrees. Some other important parts of setting the toe is to have some weight in the cockpit (not sure what amount the manual recommends) so that you have the gear legs spread to a normal position. Then make sure the centerline of the aircraft does not move while you do the measurements for toe. One technique (if you don't have the jig that they use at the factory) is to drop a plumb bob from the nose and tail then use a chalk line to connect the two spots. This line establishes the CL of the aircraft on the hangar floor. Then measure out perpendicular from that center line to the centerline of each main tire. That then becomes the start point for setting the 1" at 58". Of course, you probably already knew all of this.

Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape in the new year.

Yes Buz, I also used a lesser figure of 1 1/4". Maybe when the load goes on the toe in moves towards toe out, I'l re check it when I'm finished and ready to fly for curiosity sake.
