I built an RV-8 several years ago. It was hard to handle on rollout until I put an angle shim on the landing gear. I used advice from an article Budd Davidson wrote years ago where he explained that toe out is better than toe in and straight ahead is best. It worked for me and the 8 handles well now.
I recently decided I needed an RV-3. The wait time for a kit is 18 months and I'm too old to wait that long. I just bought a flying RV-3. Now I am back where I was initially with the 8. Too squirrelly on roll out. I checked the alignment and I have toe in. I would like to straighten the alignment and wonder if any one has found a way to change the alignment short of installing new gear legs?
