From 8 Feb 09, re Bell's tailwheel fork:

David,

Thanks for the reply,

One of the original guys who ordered and installed the fork did a pretty
thorough analysis of the change in aoa and the vision over the nose etc.

Dan Checkoway built a 7 and has a very good website that you can look at if
you have not already visited it.

Do a search on his site for Bell Tail wheel and you will find it.

Unless I hear back from you then, I will remove you from the order list. IF
you would like to stay on the list and simply have me check in with you in
several months.I can do that to.

Thanks, Doug. I think I'll pass on this batch. I really like the
increased clearance from lips. <snip>

Dan's web site has been gone for awhile. Don't know his reasons, maybe
too much traffic, he took it down, and got most of the archive sites to
pull it as well.

I might add that I installed a Bell tailwheel fork on my RV-6 shortly
after they came available and have been very pleased with it. The angle
of attack change is slight, but the increased ability over the Vans
design to handle abrupt changes in pavement (potholes) is considerable.
The fork fit the Vans mount perfectly with no mods necessary to get it
to function perfectly. I think it looks better, too. Smile

Highly recommended.

Second Sam's recommendation..it's a metal work of art and all around smoother operation.
