RE: tail wheel spring question
Hello Bobh,
Yeah, I started out with that in mind when I built up fuse. I ran the pull pulls back to tailwheel (tiny cable type with plastic sheath). I kept them farily straight but they have lots of friction. I want to use a single servo for both the rudder and tailwheel. The plans show (Brian Taylor 109F) a push rod for controll. I read a forum where some guy linked his tailwheel to the rudder via short rod. I am trying this but have made a small push pull linear spring for damping but didn't know how much give/stiffness was needed in the spring. I'm going to have it asseciable for future maintance if spring is too weak. Heres a pic of work so far.
