How many degrees of camber should I have on wheels with no weight on gear? I am ready to weld brackets on axle for spring struts. I have 2 degrees in it now but want to know what others have. I built the canted gear, I am not close to the 26 3/4 in measurement that's on page 19a. That would be too short. I am at 29 in with 2 degrees on wheels.

Very helpful thank you. I will give my wheels 3 degree positive cant. Is it just me or building the landing gear a time consuming componet

there is a lot of work in it, i kept all my to the latest draw supplement - i kept the height of the plane as per draw of the ground and was good idea as
the big prop Frank makes you loose some ground clearance i think im down to 4in
I made the tubes a bigger as i wanted to go in and out of farms around here were we are
zero camber , i ended up with a bit of toe out but its that easy to land did not make any difference, its easier to land than a Champ or a Cub
