While the J-B Weld is curing on the windscreen bow, I decided to adjust, once again, the main wheel alignment. I think I had too much positive camber on each wheel & too much toe out. With the tapered spacers I have available, the camber is now +1.5 degrees on the left & +1.2 on the right with the fuselage weight on the wheels. After installing shims, the toe angle is now very close to zero on both sides when the tailwheel is on the ground. I made, alodined and installed a 2.3mm (0.090") spacer for the left axle to match the right side for clearance from the fibreglass leg, This will make that clearance just slightly larger than the now standard spacers (UN-SPC-002-X-X-0) as noted in the current Sling 2 construction manual.
List of shims to achieve the above: Left axle:- 1 x 3/4 degree toe out & 1 x 1/2 degree positive camber & 1 x 0.090" flat. Right axle:- 2 x 1/2 degree toe in & 1 x 2 degree negative camber.
