Title: Tailwheel spring mount query LEXL.
Post by: Shay King on November 11, 2020, 11:24:20 AM

Hi guys,
Would anyone have a close up photo of their tailwheel spring mount on the bottom of the tailpost?
There are several discrepancies between the drawings on page 3a and page 25 of the plans and I’m trying to figure out the best way to proceed.
Many thanks.

Thanks for the photo. That looks like a substantial tailwheel spring you have there.

The spring is a MiniMax design made of 3/8" thick 2024T3.

When I get to that point, I probably will, too.
