Status: offline 		Does your retracts have a forward rake when installed? Instead of 90 deg angle maybe 100 or so. Thanks Rich

Status: offline 		No, toe-in doesn't necessarily cause the plane to nose over on landing. If you are using cheap wheels that have play in them, then the front of the wheels will angle out on landing, creating a slight toe out. Slight toe out will increase the chance of nosing over, that's all.

Status: offline 		These retracts have more than enough forward rake when installed. They are 100° retracts.

Status: offline 		Below are three top views showing three different toe-in angles. I don't think 1 degree will be enough. Either 1.5 or 2 degrees would work.

Edit: added arrow to each picture

Status: offline 		Richard, I'm not sure if it's the illusion of the photo examples, but isn't toe-in or toe-out from front to back of the wheel. From the look of your pictures, it looks like you're illustrating toe-in as an angle from top-to-bottom of the wheel?

Status: offline 		Sorry, those are top views. You are looking straight down at the wheels from above. The front of the plane is at the top of each picture. I will draw in arrows.

Status: offline 		It will fly scale with a Magnum 91FS with no power in reserve. You won't be able to do a big loop with it. Keep in mind that the Hellcat is king in the Pacific.
