Subject: Pietenpol-List: Wheels 3" fwd.Michael: Moving the wheels 3 in fwd. came in Bill Reweys landing gearjig drawing in a past issue of BPANews.( and via the phone) He says astock Piet is light on the tail on the ground. Ok with no brakes, butnot very good with brakes. Easy to cause a nose over. I'm using theFord A, so I can imagine it happening. It has nothing to do with theaircraft's CG. strictly a ground thing. My worry was that with a heaviertailwheel weight on the ground, and a non swivel wheel, lifting thetail to move it for ground handling would eventually cause fabricdamage. At the Piet Forum Bill also said he dumped his full swivel for asteerable only tail wheel. Leon S.________________________________________________________________________________
