Hello all. I am building a classic mono and am fitting the tail wheel at the moment. I am also using the XS stern post instead of the classic build option. Today i drilled the hole in the stern post, in the correct location BUT i followed the wrong line. I drilled it in line with the angle of the spring mount of the wheel and not the fuselage bottom Sad . I have the correct distance from the bottom of the fuselage and the spring end 235mm, plus i have a good fit around the spring arm through the stern post but i now need 12 plys or shims under where the bolt goes.
SO what im asking is should i go with the 12 shims and use a longer bolt OR file the hole at the bottom and and get the correct 5 or so shims but have an untidy fit around the stern post area? All views/advice welcome. Thanks Frank
