Default inverted tail scrape!

That looks like mine did a few weeks ago. Not lucky enuff to fly it off, but it didn't break the prop. Thinking of adding a tail wheel to the rudder but its a little light. May make a couple of standoffs coming off the rudder post and run some music wire attached to the fuse to a tail wheel about 1" above the rudder.

Drugg it a few times Sunday but splatted 3 more times. At least the rudder stayed on and the prop didn't break. Went back with oversize hinges cut out of Great Planes material.

jnjacksn were you flying at Merygold this weekend after the big birds flew. I should have taken the time to say hello but we had to drive to Indianola <sp> to get cleaned up and go eat. It was good to see Gary S and constrictor up there.
