Default RE: Toe-in or toe-out on a warbird?

Most real planes use toe in. The idea is if you put one wheel down it steers to the center while you put the other down, toe out will slam the opposite side down without pilot control, and then it acts as a dampener as it is slightly scrubbing off speed and both wheels are pointed to the center. But as with anything you can always find an exception.
