Assume a nice steady crosswind from the left. You lower the left wing to stop drift, add right rudder to line up the fuselage with the centerline and touch down on the left main, which is inconveniently toed-in and headed exactly the direction you don't want to go, off the right side of the runway. Set the tires up as parallel as possible. Van's sells shims for the "8", 1/2 and 1 degrees. Even if the gear legs are a little out of square, bolt them on the best you can without cutting up the entire belly of the airplane and shim out the rest at the axles.

We would welcome other RV's. I have flown there several times in the past (in certified single engine aircraft) and have had no problems. The Bahamas are allowing experimental airplanes now and that is the only foreign country we need to overfly and land for fuel with 38 gallons in the tanks and winds permitting.

I got used ones for our RV-4 from an engine rebuild shop in Tulsa,Oklahoma. I think they had an ad in Sport Aviation. I might have gotten the info from Gibson Aviation in OK too. Anyway I got the lugs for about half the new cost of $28 /ea. I talked to one of the engine shop guys. Bob Olds A&P , EAA Tech.
