Default RE: Eagle Aviation One Design Build

The landing gear has arrived from T-N-T. I decided to use the J&J tailwheel for this build, the wire is 1/4" titanium, CNC'd aluminum bracket with a 1 1/4" Dubro wheel, nice but pricey at $75.00. Weights 3.2 ounces. The plastic mounting pieces were too wide to use on this fuselage so I went the old fashion route, plywood with a groove. Most fuselages today are wider at the rudder post since airfoil shaped surfaces are uilized. This old clunker has built up flat surfaces.
