I agree with Mark.  Find the centerline of the fuselage and parallel each
wheel to the centerline.   I found that one of my wheels was further off
center then the other.  Placing a straight edge or laser directly to the
lower fitting should be just as accurate as having the wheel mounted.

My vote is for zero toe-in, toe-out.  I can't imagine my KR handling any
better on the ground with other than the zero alignment that I have.
Also, I've had the new 5:00X5's on for a year now with no noticeable
tire wear.
