(Click image for a larger view) | Regardless of what your hangar-flying buddies say, difficulties with an airplane's ground handling can often be traced to a misaligned landing gear. If you're a builder who is using a 600x6/500x5/GAC/Azusa bolt-on axle, the Dial-a-Degree is the solution to most of your minor alignment issues (0 to 3 degree adjustment). This simple solution uses a pair of specially tapered discs that are mated and rotated in any combination needed to orient each axle to its correct alignment. Each 3-inch diameter disc is machined and laser-cut from aircraft grade 6061 T6 aluminum. A pair of discs is used on each side. To properly align the axle, Dial-a-Degree shims are clamped in place between the landing gear and the axle, and the alignment checked. Loosening the clamps and rotating the tapered discs moves the axle to its proper toe-in/toe-out and correct camber angle. Drill/trim install, instructions/templates included. Will not interfere with brakes. Sold as set of four discs. FAA-PMA approved(BDS-101). |
