----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- Bless you, Bill. What you've done by getting the spacers approved brought tail height on the ground to everyone's attention. Now-days, the only Coupes I see with a drooping tail are non-EOC members who are also non-list members or people who recently bought their plane from someone in those categories. Though the droopy-tail accidents were mostly fender-benders, over the years and all the planes, I bet you've saved a life or three. Thanks for continuing to follow-through on the formula so people can get more precise adjustment of the tail-height and handle non-standard situations and gear configurations.

It will give you the exact size of the spacer to correct any deviation in tail height. I have passed it around to many FAA guys and they can find no problem with it. Coupe Capers should come out with my article on it soon. Everything should be detailed. Of course, I did not dwell on all of the aspects of aerodamics involved because you have covered that very well in your articles. I said just enough to want you to give it a try if you have a drooping tail. I do have copies available for anyone for an sase. Bill Coons FAA Safety Counselor Gt. Lakes Region.
