Dan,
When I read your first post about the tail wheel it was quite clear to me that
you were not blaming the tail wheel setup for the accident..and I admire
you for not responding in anger to some of the caustic comments. Thanks for
getting the tail wheel discussion started. We have not
Hi guys and girls;
AH HA! Now I think I understand why one or maybe more of the KR group got
upset with my first post about the "Tail wheel/rudder interconnection".
It seems that they might have took it that I was criticizing the KR tail
wheel/rudder design as dangerous, NOT SO! I'm sorry if

Hi guys and girls;
My whole point in bringing up the subject of tail wheel/rudder and wheel
alignment was three fold. One was, was it just my lack of time and
experience in the plane (probably so) or two, was there a way to make it
easier to control, and three, to leave a more searchable title

Do you have any pictures on your web site or a link to the Aviation Products

Zero toe in and zero camber are the what we are aiming for.
But our toe in changes with the forward movement because of our suspension
design.

The Aviation Products tailwheel is shown at
http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/misc/05120360m.jpg. This is not really a
proper installation because vertical axis of rotation is too far inclined.
It should be more like 5-15 degrees, and what I have is about 30 degrees.
These tailwheels come in

I forgot to mention the one thing I did differently
I don't think Aviation Products has a web site. At least I couldn't
find it. There info is

They have several models available. You will want the lightest model
which is a 4 inch wheel on a single fork. You will have to

Hi guys and girls;
Before the unfortunate accident with Ol' Blue I made the comment that every
time I thought that I had everything fixed I always seemed to find something
else to fix or change on the plane.
One of the things that I hadn't got around to was the tail wheel/rudder
interconnection.
