Anyone know the inner workings of a tail wheel.
Mine no longer locks into place to allow steering with rudders.
Fixable or replacable parts?

I had the same problem. the spring for the lock had become weak. I stretched the spring then reinstalled it. The next time I ordered parts I ordered a new one. When I park my plane I make sure to lock the tail wheel so the spring is not compressed so much.I think Aircraft&spruce had a parts breakdown of my tail wheel.

tailwheel, complete with pictures.....Google 'til you find it....the
guy's name was Drew Fidoe.
