What makes the sullivan tail wheel assembly more desireable?
How would you beef up the gear area?
(mine is already covered - but I can still beef it up before I lay the red down.)

The Sullivan tail wheel is not "hard wired" into the rudder. It is sort of spring loaded off the rudder. On rough ground it takes the abuse off the rudder, linkage and servo.
I didn't beef up my gear area and seems to be holding fine. Probably an easy way to beef it would be to fiberglass the area.
