Brief Description:  Axle Spacers

GAM stayed overnight so we could install the axle shims from Grove Landing Gear Systems to adjust the camber & toe angles of both left and right main wheels. We now have the camber angles within 0.1 degrees of each other at positive 3 degrees & the toe angles are within 0.2 degrees of each other at about 0.5 degrees toe out (tail down) which I think is a little too much. I have shims that will allow us to match left & right toe angles more closely & reduce the toe out by 50% so at the end of the process we should have 0.25 degrees toe out when the tailwheel is on the ground & slightly more (approx. 0.5-6 degrees) when the tail is up in the level flight position.
