This is how I did mine.http://clifdawson.ca/Pietenpol3.htmlClifPS-Don't look at the tailwheel. I've changed to one I boughtat Arlington and modified. Got to put it up sometime.( Now where did I put that 29 hour clock! Here is a link on how to do the gear.... http://www.westcoastpiet.com/constructi ... d_gear.htm Once you get the wood legs done, then you can make the metal parts to fit.

ClifFinally! Now I know where I got the idea to building my landing gear the wayI did. it's been bugging me because I knew I had seen an inverted jig setupbefore but could not find it again. Thanks for the inspiration. It workedgreat.ChrisSacramento, CaWestcoastpiet.com _____

You're welcome Chris.I'm sending some pics of my new ( to me ) tailwheel.The first is with the small wheel and modified arms tohold it. The original was twice as big. The other two showit with the horns lengthened to match the rudder horn.Now it tracks the same as the rudder. Clif Thanks for the inspiration. It worked great.

Clif,I gotta say, in the 80 year history of Pietenpols, you may be the only Pietenpolerbuilding amongst the ferns and rhododendrons! I'll bet you also have a smallwater feature, for further piece and tranquility...GarySent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry-----Original Message-----
