We toe the cat we run based on whether we turn the props out or in. We toe in when we turn in...that way, the clearances in the steering are compressed and the gear cases tend to be straight when running fully loaded, offering the least resistance. If you turn the props outward (which is safer) then we toe out just slightly...for the same reason.
...but I'm sure there will other opinions...Go Time
