Default U Can Do 3D

The installation is holding up fine. However, the tail wheel unit is getting rather loose and sloppy in the plastic bearing/mount; to the point that it is canted a bit when the tail is on the ground, necessitating holding considerable rudder to make the airplane track straight.

Bending the wheel/strut doesn't help, since the wheel is at an angle to the ground.

This is not a big deal- yet- but the Sullivan unit appears to be made rather cheaply. The beauty of this arrangement, however, is that when it becomes objectionable, it is a five minute job to replace the unit.

You will end up doing some variation of this eventually, since the stock unit WILL fail. It is just a question of how soon...
