Default RE: Platt Zero

I was working on the tail wheel retract from CJ last night. Platt shows a square tube for the horn attachment at the pivot point. CJ uses a pressed rod with set screw lock. The press fit is rotating in the retract structure. That just will not do. I will make a new horn that fits inside the structure from G-10 and JB Weld it in place so that the control rod hole is in the proper place. In hind sight I think this should have been the way it should have been made all in on piece. I might replace the steel rod with aluminum to save 1/2 gram.
