[rebel-builders] Rebel Wheel alignment/Toe out

Post by James Vandolder » Sun Feb 19, 2012 10:39 am

Slightly toe in is better than toe out, but straight
is desireable. Murphy sells wedges in varying degrees
that you can mount between your axle and the gear leg
to adjust the toe in/out.

Good Luck - James (reb493)

Hi all
Can anyone remember off hand the desired tow out
distance at the front and
rear with spring gear? Was it 1/4 inch? Thought I
kept the thread on it's
last discussion but can't find it by searching the
mail.
Thanks to those who respond

FWIW,

I'm building my Rebel for LSA but I wondered about
eventual resale to
someone who wants the higher gross so I asked the
EAA and the FAA at Sun N
Fun and of course got two different answers. The
guys at EAA insist that
you
can't up the weight later but the FAA said its no
problem. I specifically
asked about upping the weight with (re-engine) and
without physical changes
and the FAA was emphatic that its just paperwork
either way. Will the next
Fed you ask give a different answer? Who knows.

P.S. Enjoyed meeting and talking with you Ralph.
Bob, sorry I didn't get to
thank you personally for the beer. and I promise to
drink more next year.

Bob,
The LSA specs do not require any special
resistration. All that is
required is that the aircraft meet the LSA
specs. It can be amateur
built
or certified. If it is an SLSA (factory
completed) there has to be an
acceptance by the FAA that it complies with the
ASTM standards. Not
sure
about the ELSA as that is an unattractive option
at present to all
parties.

As far as I know, any Canadian amateur built
that is properly registered
and can legally be imported to the USA and
registered here can be flown
by
a Sport Pilot as long as it meets the LSA specs.

[rebel-builders] Rebel Wheel alignment/Toe out

Post by steve whitenect » Sun Feb 19, 2012 10:39 am

Checked the distance yesterday and am about 1/4 " tow out. One wheel in
alignment and the other out the distance. Fuse is just about level with
engine aboard so I might wedge the out wheel straight and leave it at that.
Happy Easter!!!
