Landing Gear geometry and preferences

Post by LA F2 Flyer »

For those of you who have built (or are currently building) the main gear on your Badland kit, I'm curious as to where you landed on your geometry. Positive camber, negative camber...which do you prefer and why?

The same question applies to toe-in versus toe-out. From what I can tell, the toe isn't adjustable on this gear (without cutting and welding) - you get what you get when all is said and done. I have a fair amount of toe-in on mine.

I know this discussion has come up in other forums (radio control planes, etc) so I thought it may carry over well to this forum. What do you prefer and why? Advantages? Disadvantages?
