 |
|
I’m getting the tailwheel parts ready to assemble and have noticed a discrepancy between my paper manual (chapter 32, page 11, issue 1) and the PDF I downloaded from the Europa factory website (chapter 32, page 11, issue 4).
My paper manual show a Spirol pin part # 45284 inserted opposite the grease nipple and acting as a limit stop in the semi-circumferential slot in the tailwheel fork. The PDF does not show or mention this at all.
Does anyone know if this is another misprint or if the pin is no longer deemed necessary? Are there downsides to installing it if it’s not needed? I can see that leaving it out makes it theoretically possible in some sort of extreme situation for the tailwheel to rotate too far and get the cables crossed.
BTW I’m installing the Graham Singleton pushrod rudder drive, if that makes any difference.
All comments (except for silly ones  ) welcome!

Rowland, You are welcome to go and look at my tail wheel
in office hours. Just talk to the lovely lady (Zoe) in the
Probe office. Regards, David

Rowland
you should have a Y shaped part which stops the tailwheel over rotating, so the pin is overkill.
The pins usually break on the first minor excursion anyway.

Graham - thanks for that reassurance. I had forgotten about the Y-shaped piece - I was just looking at the stuff in the build manual as opposed to the Mod 77 documentation.
