Subject: Pietenpol-List: Tw steering-wire wheelsLike Corky, I made 3" extension arms for my tail wheel to slow down thesteering. I haven' flown yet, so I can't comment on how it works. Inan old issue of the Int. Piet. news letter Chad Willie wrote a note onhow his dad went sliding down the runway sideways from 50 mph with nodamage to his stock motorcycle wheels. This was years ago, so the wheelsmay have been borrowd from Fred Flintstone. I always wondered if thestories about side load failures were just tall tales.
