 |
|
Hello Graeme,
You probably noticed that I have the same tail wheel installation as yours.
Knowing that the roll pin had a reputation for snapping I never installed it
and as far as I can see it doesn't affect the handling at all. When the
aircraft is going forward the movement is curtailed by the rudder cables. I
guess it depends on whether your inspector is happy with this (ie: the pin
being removed). As you will have discovered when it snapped it serves no
useful purpose.
You just have to be a bit careful when pushing the aircraft backwards but as
you may have noticed I have a trolley which the tail wheel drops into when
I'm moving the aircraft in the hangar.
Your aircraft weighs the same as ours - 815 lbs and the c of g at 60.2 is
about as good as it gets. The limits are 58 - 62.5 with 60 being the ideal.
I have the pilots handbook with the weighing and c of g notes if you would
like to see these. I could scan and email the relavent pages.
Regards,
Carl

<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]--> Graeme,
You are on the ideal weight and cg at 60 inches. Enjoy.
I install the pins, but do prefer Graham's mod. The pin will hold up in normal operation, but those who insist on pulling the aircraft backwards without a trolley, tend to snap them.
I will check if the mod V block alone is available. It works great, it's simple and rugged. It is not that hard to make from 1/2 inch aluminum and a metal cutting band saw and drill press.
