I talked with Zenith. They said that in our case with a Jabiru engine
to
leave the "slanted side" forward as it is now on our airplane.
"Straight
side" forward is for use with heavier engines (e.g. Continental) to
assist
in lifting the nose for takeoff. The difference in fore and aft tire
footprint is about 1 1/2 inches.

Yes I am. If you follow this link
http://www.zenithair.com/zodiac/xl/data/6-gear.pdf
you will see a photo showing the gear on the ground with the marked for
install flat side forward. If you look at all the other photos of the
completed airplane, that happens to be the factory demo plane, you will
see
that the gear used to be installed with the flat side to the rear. This
had
the effect of reducing the distance between the main gear and the nose
wheel
and is supposed to make it easier to keep the nose off the ground when
landing.
