Question. The plans allow for wheel alignment prior to installing the wheels and brakes. Since when I put on the wheels the fuse was very light, no tailcone or avionics or engine, the wheels sit at a great angle to the floor yet. I suspected that alignment would be a wasted drill since there would be a change when loaded.
Now I see that it will be a major pain to shim the axles later, having to remove the brakes and wheel to do it, so what should I do?
1. Have builders found that there is a change in alignment after loading the plane?
2. Did you find the alignment shims were even needed?
