Subject: Pietenpol-List: Doesn't the GN-1 Grega have a beefed up rudder to steerthe tailwheel ?In looking at photos of uncovered GN-1 rudders I have seen they beef them up to handle thetailwheel steering horn down low. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the GN-1 Grega Air Camperuses the rudder to steer the tailwheel.The GN-1 tied out at my home airport for 30+ years had this rudder/tailwheel steering setup. It is now inElizabeth City, NC being restored and a set of wire wheels and streamlined steel tube landing gear legs puton that are painted up to resemble streamlined wood gear legs.Mike C.________________________________________________________________________________
