Subject: Pietenpol-List: Tail wheel spring / lift handleMike : Thanks for the info on the spring Joe: I thoughtabout the handle, but want to keep the weight off back there. I noticedRans and other light planes don't even use turnbuckles on tail bracewires. That could save about a lb. and a half. Also bought at Osh. areally light pneumatic wheel and tire. under a pound. It adds up in therear with that long moment arm, but more important, in total weightsavings. Thanks, Leon S.________________________________________________________________________________
