Gall as to Q1

In the fast taxi, up to 45kts, I was using up to 1/2 left rudder to go straight. I felt the pull to the right would be due to alignment issues. I have made repairs to the canard (somewhat superficial) and now have moved on to the application of the "Gall wheel alignment". As it would apply to the Q-1, I assume you would sight the opposite inner wheel axle and ahead as the Q-2, but is 2" the point for Quickies too?

The right wheel was very much toed out. About 10" forward, and 4" down @ gross. The left was just below the right axle a couple of inches.

Thanks,

I have the axles aligned as the Q-2, sighted level with the opposite axle and 2" ahead.

I will wait for confirming this for the Quickie before I bond the new position. I am anxious to compare the handling change.

Thanks,

Well, I used the Q-2 numbers and it was a great improvement! I taxied it at a lower speed of up to 30 MPH today and it was much easier to keep at least near the center line. I think the next change will be to the tailwheel caster angle. Any change in rudder pedal position or pressure results in a "dart", in that direction. Any over correction would make matters worse. PIO on the rudder pedals is a real concern in Quickies. They are a BLAST, even to taxi.
