I'm struggling a bit on comprehending on how the wheel pants should be aligned. I've read a handful of build logs which have been great on talking about the procedure to align them but I'm confused on how they should be in flight.
So for alignment is the general idea that in flight they in parallel and inline with both the planes longitude and vertical axis? However in terms of lateral axis they are rolled to match the profile of the tire, so a bit toe'd in?
If thats the case then how do you determine straight and level with the plane up on jacks? I put a leveling rail under the mid cabin but that's not really exactly flat and bends just a bit. So should I do that over the top of the spar or is there another method to do this? Thanks!
