When adjusting for the toe-out, should the sled be setting with its weight on the floor, or can you do it up in the air, on stand? thanks

On the floor. Other wise the bump steer will have it all messed up. You want your skis straight when going down the trail, not when they are 2 foot off of the ground. Maxdlx

Yup, on the floor. To do it right you want to make sure your track is aligned first. Then run a straight edge along one side of the track that extends of to the front of the skis. Measure off that straight edge when doing your alignment and you will have your skis aligned with each other and your track. The sled will track much better if done that way. If you don't you could have a sled that wants to turn on it's own and you will have to constantly steer it back just to go straight.

Bump steer, on a leaf springer?
on the stand is the way i prefer to check front end toe out. that way you can get under the skis and measure from the carbides.
pull the ski tips together with a bungi strap to remove the free play in the steering.
1/8-1/4" toe out is what you want.

read the article in the tech pages, the ideal setting is for the toe to be near 0 when your on the brakes or letting off the gas fast going into a corner.
