Bob,
I agree on the tire wear with the Trigear. I'm on my 4th set of tires, getting
only about 50 hours per set. It's the camber........the tires wear out on the
outside edge, and there is no adjustment possible. I just switched to Goodyear
Custom Super II tires, at $90 each...ouch! I'm hoping they'll wear better.
If anyone out there has any experience with "adjusting" toe-in, and camber
on trigear legs, please advise.

Hi! Paul.
IMHO until you get the hang of landing the Europa you need a trike unless
you are already a tail dragger and even then I guess it would be different.
However My experience of Main Gear tyre wear on the trike is not good. I'm
just about to fit my third set at 279 landings (and departures) mostly on
tarmac and mostly on MTOW. I am convinced that the tow in /camber setting is
suspect on mine but generally ......?
I often wonder what it would take to have a vernier device at the top of the
main gear legs to have some form of adjustment for the tow in factor at
least.
