Ok so to sum up -
1) This extra toe down angle feature is only useful for 'takeoff' phase.
2) I am imagining at Vlof (lift off), it would rather be harmful for a 300ER to 'allow a toe down' as it would not increase the body gear length & not provide desired tail strike protection.
3) for a 200LR a toe down 'exists' because there is no SLG/hydraulic strut actuator & tail strike is not an issue.
4) for 'landing' this toe down has no use or significance. Because both a/c (200LR & 300 ER) bogies approach ground at a tilt (forward wheel pair up & aft wheel pair down)

Are these assumptions correct from what I infer from above discussion?

Thankyou.
