I've found a few oddities in the construction of my UltraStar, mostly in 

the control system.  A few were scary and all have been corrected.  Today I 

was looking at the drawings to identify the tailwheel strut tube size 

(since mine is bent), and I noticed that the lower tail brace wires go to a 

bolt on the rear vertical tube of the lower fin.  That's funny... mine go 

to the forward of the two bolts holding the tailwheel strut into the 

fin.  I did some careful poking and sure enough, the proper holes are in 

fact there, under the fabric.



Considering the loads on the tail wires, it's probably not a big deal, 

unless landing loads were to fatigue the bolt in question.  Still it will 

be fixed.



Fortunately the distance is the same, within the add/remove washers 

adjustment method, so all I have to do is dig up another AN3 bolt of the 

proper length.
