Or surrounding airports: KSMO, KLGB, KHHR. I'm considering moving there and RV's / Airports will weigh heavily into my decision.

I'm building an 8 QB with my father, and there is another flying 8A based there. There are also several 6's and 4's on the field, and at least 1 F1 Rocket under construction.

Washers seem to work OK too. A little toe in is a good thing as it helps to keep the plane going straight. Since we all always make perfect3 pointers when we land we need to keep the alignment perfect, right? Just watch your tire wear and it will tell you if your eating tires, Have you ever flown a 172 that was actually in line? It's always best to get it as close as you can but the gear will flex and twist as we bounce and twist our way into a perfect landing. Try not to get eaten up in details. Build it right and it will fly great.

How do you correct the toe in on the 8A? I have about 3/16s from a straight edge, don't know if that is too much or not. Thank,s Mark Rose 137MR reserved. > >
