• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

When I flew the Acrosport II home last week I thought it was a little squirrally on landing compared to my Luscombe and others I have flown.
Well, after triple checking the measurements, it has 1.9 degrees of toe-in!


So, how do I get it to zero toe-in or slight toe-out like it should be?


Heat and bend the axles? Otherwise, new gear? It has fabric covered gear legs, how would it tolerate the heat, if that is the corect thing to do.....


Thanks,


Tom
