Default Trike Kingpin Offset/Scrub Radius??

Hi

Would anyone care to express an opinion on how much kingpin offset
(scrub radius) is desirable on a recumbent trike? It's not difficult
to get suggestions for trail (or caster), but all I've been able to
find are recommendations ranging from "none" to "a small amount of
negative" (if eliminating brake-steer is a priority), for kingpin
offset. I'm particularly interested in how much negative offset is
possible before handling is badly affected.

Cheers

LGF
