Jarek,
You'll have to take off the elevator to lift the rudder off the top pin. Elevator off Remove bolts holding cables onto rudder - AFTER tying a thin rope through them so they don't disappear into the fuselage. Remove rudder centre bolt Lift rudder off top pin You'll now have clear view of the tailwheel cables and the assembly. Remove the cables after tying off as with the rudder cables Loosen the bolt clamping cable arm onto tailwheel mechanism Tap down the locking washer Undo the large nut Tailwheel mech will drop down I've had a few tailwheel problems as my Dimona has the old unsprung fitting but it has way less movement in the block than yours from the video. I think you have problem there. Cheers, Greg. Greg Wilson ---- On Wed, 08 Jan 2020 08:25:24 +1100 Jarek Steliga <[email protected]> wrote ---- Ian, Rob, Many thanks for all your support. I will reply how the land lies once I have a look at the tailwheel assy. Will I also have to take off the elevator?

Either Laurie or Rob have mentioned a problem where the big wooden block that supports the tail wheel can actually rot because of water getting in the two threaded holes for the elevator support when folding the wingsThere is a lot of weight hence stress on the tail wheel assy so any problem really needs to be addressed pronto. The bearings also may be a problem I do have a complete assy as removed from an Aussie Dimona if you need one.

In your opinion, is the rocking movement of the tail wheel excessive? Berst regards Jarek
