Default My Home made Tail Wheel Assembly

Hi Guys,

I never liked the idea of having the tail wheel rod glued into the rudder. For starters, the rudder always have to absorb the impact upon landing (hard on the rudder servo as well) and two, you cant adjust the tailwheel once the rod is glued in. Since I have my new metal lathe, I try to justify the cost and keep the stupid things to a bare minimum (hard to do) LOL
So for my UCD3D 60, I made my own tail wheel assembly. The aluminum is all hollowed out and the hex head screws have been cut with only about 4 mm threads to keep the weight down.

It seems as though I can't upload the pics. I am getting a message saying it did, but???????
