KR> wheel alignment

Does anyone know of archive information or wish to share regarding wheel alignment for KR tail wheel configurations? Wheels straight, toe in or out? (In level attitude or all wheels down.) And what about camber? How is the handling for width of wheel base vs. length from mains to tail? Acc
