S.4.C  Setting the Toe-in

In this section you will be setting the main gear’s toe-in 
angle to 0.5°. We want to emphasize that the precision of 
this setting is extremely important for ground handling and 
tire wear.

Steps...

1. Attach the axle mount to the gear leg by slightly 

snugging the set screw.

2. Using the fuselage center line that you drew on the 

floor in 

Leveling the Fuselage

 on page S.5, find the 

location for the toe-in lines:
The toe-in lines must:
• Be parallel to the fuselage center line.
• Be directly below the alignment tool using a plumb 

bob as shown.

• Extend 3’(1 meter) in front of the gear leg.

3. Attach a 3.5’ (1.25 meters) or longer alignment tool to 

the end of the gear leg.
Notice that the forward hole on the end of the axle 
mount has some slack and the set screw can be 
loosened and tightened as needed for leveling the 
alignment tool.

4. Hang a plumb-bob as shown in Figure S.4.C.2 and 

mark its position on the floor.

5. Make a mark on the alignment tool, 3’ (1 meter) 

forward of the center of the end of the gear leg.

6. Hang a plumb bob at this spot. See Figure S.4.C.4 o

the next page.

Note: 

This process can also be done using a laser level.

Toe-in line

Leave some slack 

in the forward hole.

Make sure the 
alignment tool is level.

Rotate the gear leg until the 
alignment tool is level.

This toe-in line is placed:

– Parallel to the fuselage 
center line.

– Directly below the 
alignment tool by using a 
plumb bob as shown.

– Extends 3’ (1 meter) in 
front of the gear leg. 

Tip: 

Once the alignment 

tool is level, cut two 
wooden blocks of equal 
height. Place one directly 
behind the plumb bob 
hanging from the gear leg 
and place the other 3’ in 
front of the gear leg.
