Have you asked this on the Lancair mail line?

John, it's my understanding that you need a little toe out on a tail
dragger and a little toe in on the tri-gears. I know the toe out works
on a tail dragger and I don't know the exact logic on a tri-gear.

That is my understanding as well. I my recollection is mainly of an
article(s) in Sport Aviation several years ago which outlined some of the
issues the repair volunteers had seen in the course of getting aircraft
headed home from OSH. An additional personal observation is that camber can
influence or mimic either toe-in or toe-out in a nose-up or tail-up
attitude. Perhaps a call to EAA would be usefull.
