Got the tailwheel lower leg sorted. Made a lithoplate template. When it was right I made a tinplate one. Tinplate is ace stuff and readily available, though it is getting more scarse since ali cans and tins are more the norm now. I solders ace, is stronger that litho and isn't at all heavy used in moderation!! The standard kit wire was reshaped slightly, then this horseshoe shape was soldered onto the one sided wire leg. The other end of the horseshoe has the wheel retaining collet soldered to it. The collet end is simply flexed out of the way to slide the wheel on, then located on the wire and tightened up, making the tinplate suprisingly solid and fairly scale like.
