As I recall you're in Indiana?
Waaal, I may be buying an Xtra in WI next week & flying it back to Maine. Could I stop in & pick your brain a little? I know next to NOTHING about Kolbs! -- and you do.
Hope we can meet
Fair winds,

My question is do you align your tires to be perfectly straight or do you
toe the front in a little ?

Lee,
Set the gear at zero toe in with your plane with what you consider your
plane average or normal flight load.
Roll the plane forward to let the gear settle and adjust camber so that the
top of the wheel tips out a little at the top.
If you make these adjustments you should have no trouble landing in a side
slip during gusty cross winds on a hard surface runway.

It would have been so nice, Russ, for you to have been honest with me about having no intension of buying my plane. This would have saved me a lot of work getting things ready for you to look at.........

I am hurt by your comments! -- I DID have intentions of buying your plane, and am an honest man.
I wouldn't do that to you, or anyone else.
I'm not that kind of person.
