Brother West1m:

As I recollect, sir, the problems had nothing directly to do with the
aluminum rod which mounts the tailwheel, and rather
more with cracks in, and side loads on, the portions of the 4130 chromoly
rudder kingpost and supporting "skeg" underneath
the tailboom which, together, secure that rod. Corrosion may have been a
factor. This did not affect all machines, but some clearly did have an issue
with this and external braces were fitted by some folks. While you have it
apart, I would take a peek at it. The Archives pertain.

As previously mentioned, that discussion and the attendant List chain
addressing it were sufficient to make me wary of side loads on my tail. I
regularly inspect for cracks down there during pre-flights... The
formidable Mrs. Beauford informs me that despite precautions, I occasionally
display such while pre-flighting... Wink

Worth what ye paid fer it...

Straight ahead beauford
