Actually, I use tow out on narrow track planes like the cougar and the F86, especifically to improve cross wind handling. And guess who recommended it (and actually helped me win top gun with that tip?) Juan Pablo Montoya and Peter goldsmith

He told me race cars are toe in in front, and to out on the rears.

What toe out does for you on narrow track, cross wind conditions is that when the outer wheel gets loaded, it does not bite, so the plane does not tip over and bounce back. it is a lot more forgiving. On my current sabre, I have too much toe in (it was factory set, and a pita to correct, but i will fix it) and you cant even touch the brakes cause it starts wingdancing on the ground

I don't know if the airplane becomes a bit more sensitive, but nothing a nosewheel gyro does not solve (i have nose wheel gyros in 100% of my planes). But what you gain on cross wind stability on the ground is priceless....
