Not sure what you mean by "toe out".. the 109 should have a major "toe-out"..

wheels-not ldggear

Post by tiger1 » Tue Oct 10, 2006 9:16 pm

I mean the wheels are not aligning with a/c centerline-I know the gears are set at an angle,but the wheels should not have this" toe" out.this is not a problem on the gustav,where they have got the geometrics right...

You mean the front of the wheels turn out more than the back?

I have noticed the Schmitts have that too, everything is strange with the BF-109's landing gear

Aaahhhhhhh Okay...
I have not seen this problem, but it might be a "heat and twist" fix to get them aligned back up..
