| Subject: | Fwd: RV-8A Toe In Issue |
Dear 8A list,
We seem to have some significant toe in on the mains of our 8A. It is
really noticeable when you push the plane backwards as the legs want to
spread with a great deal of tire to ground friction. My understanding is the
RV-8 has rectangular gear legs while the 8A has round gear legs with the
axles bolted to the gear leg. The plans call for shimming the axles to
obtain a neutral position but because the 8A axle is one piece the only way
to change this is to drill the landing gear socket.
Does anyone have a suggestion or observation for us poor Nosedraggers?
Robin

Robin, I have not noticed this when pushing my 8A backwards. It may be a no
n issue as we seldom taxi, takeoff or land backwards. Does your plane track
correctly going forward? Try it with full tanks and pilot seat filled. I
know of no easy, safe method to alter the toe setting on a RV-8a, but maybe
someone else has that knowledge, Best of luck, Bill Phillips, RV-8a N288WP

I am trying to sort out my mixture and throttle cables. If you have a RV-8A (nose
gear) and Air Flow Performance fuel injection, that is vertical induction
please message me.
The exhaust hangers (Vetterman cross over) and the supports of the engine mount
make this a very troublesome puzzle.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers

Here us a link to some photos of what I did a few years ago for that same
combination. I seems to work pretty well, but then again it has never been
in the air either: http://tcwatson.zenfolio.com/p288537335
