Hi,
My 7A has 40 hours TT and 46 landings.
I noted this weekend that the left tire has worn almost to the canvas on the outside. I know that RVs always wear outside first due to the leg geometry, but 46 landings is ridiculous!
I did not build the plane myself but suspect alignment that would cause scuffing and premature wear. I have not checked alignment.
Is this possible and more importantly, how can I fix it?
I fixed an alignment problem a few years ago in a 206 with shims, but the RV design does not accommodate this.
I look forward to your advice.
