Morning all,I am debating whether to use a leaf spring or the welded up assembly for mytail wheel. The attached pictures show a leaf spring (2). They are =BC=94 xabout 14=94, quite stiff. It=92s hard to deflect just one of the springs. Waswondering if I could get by with just one leaf to save some weight,understanding I would be screwed if it broke.Question number 2. That is a Scott tail wheel model 3-24R. I know zipabout these except I had one on my 140. It appears when one or both of theside arms is pulled forward it locks the wheel so as to turn the wheel withthe deflection of the arm. The arms don=92t =93spring back=94 to the rearunlocking the wheel. Should they?Thanks in advance!JackDSM________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Man-cave hangar decorating
