tandem or single axle

Thanks for the pic reference Jim. It's a single axle and axle was just replaced and new tires. There is only a few hundred pounds in the trailer, so no over load. Tires seem to track straight without excess camber, but they are totally wore off on inside tread. I was thinking about running a chain from the outside axle ends on the bottom and putting a floor jack between axle center and chain, heating axle center, then using jack to apply pressure to bend axle to put in more camber. Is this idea NUTS or is there another problem that I'm just blind to at the moment.
David's trailers mentioned spring perch alignment, but I can't see how that would cause both tires to wear on inside.
ANY IDEAS?

I was inlightened as to where we are flying SUN. morning. It seems that it is going to be Ladies Day at SAM! Sass and C.J.'s new girlfriend are going with us to the field tomorrow. So the ladies will be with us for lunch also. We are supposed to be at the field about 8:30, but we'll see how that goes. C.J/ will most likely put a thrashing on the planes with a new set of eyes watching, that's if he can pull himself away from her.
See you there!

Here is Kenn's 1/4 scale German Focke Wolf pilot. (Kenn is truly a Master Artist) This figure is made from a roto cast process.

The pilot mold is retired (not useable) but the original model is still intact - so another mold could (but unlikely) be made. It would take a 1/2 dozen committed order promises to justify that lengthy task and materials.

I have a casting of the same pilot I used on a paraglider model but I now plan to use on my 1/4 scale MIG 3.
Get your warbird buds together and get back to me.
