Hi guys ,as most ultralights and trikes has the front wheel steering fork facing forward i would like to know if there is any formula to tell how much that angle should be compare to keel or any level surface ,as some planes has the angle more than the others such as sabre trike probably around 20 degrees compare to the nano trike around 10-14 ? degrees .
I have build and used both the caster type and sabre style in past im just trying to found out the advantages for the sabre style ,it also brings me to the question of the stability since bicycles and motorcycles has the same design thank you
