I agree with Shad, I'd make it steerable. I've added a couple of links to picturesof mine. It's pretty simple. Just a 1/2" bolt with the threads cut offand pressed up through the tailwheel yoke then slid up through bushings in the'A' frame body. Then a 'T' is pinned on the top for steering. I'm using a 31/2" wheel. It gets abused on a regular basis!http://westcoastpiet.com/images/Don%20E ... 111.jpgDon EmchNX899DERead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p 4108#204108________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sat, 13 Sep 2008 10:14:05 -0700 (PDT)

Hi Dick' Ever try to taxi a skid, in a 30 knot crosswind, I think the same resultis going to happen without locking the tailwheel, Dick Alkir, Ohio, had towalk his skid Piet a half mile at Oshkosh, not an easy task with higher crosswindsand not worth the risk.Pieti LowellRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p 4161#204161________________________________________________________________________________
