Hi again Folks,
This segment covers the much requested tailwheel standoff. It doesn't lift the tailwheel off the surface, it only carries the weight to the trailer frame so your plane doesn't bounce on the tailwheel. I find it to be very effective. The straps are 20" long with the holes at 17" centers. The distance from the frame bolt center to the surface where the tailwheel sets is 3/4 ".
The carry thru bolt which goes thru the fuselage tube is 5 1/2 " long. I use a wingnut for ease of hookup.
The straps should be made of tempered steel. They are can be 3/4" to 1" wide by 1/4" thick. If you don't have tempered steel,
just heat the straps to cherry red and quickly quench in cold water.
This is the end of the photos. I'll gather liniar data as soon as our forcasted " fast moving snow storm" passes.
Enjoy. Regards, Floyd N69FJ
Floyd Johnson
