. . . There's a pretty good chance that you've weakened the assembly to the point that it'll break once you start making landings. All of the plastic is there for a reason, to keep the assembly from breaking.

I figured as much, thank you ken for your quick response. Thankfully I bought two packages of the tailwheel assembly so I do have a spare.


Attached is a shot of how I installed the tailwheel on one of my SSE's. It should answer all of your questions, as well as how you can install the flying wires (support) without having to tear up the tailwheel assembly.

I notice in your assembly, ken, you have the axis setup aligned at the edge of the fuse rear as shown in my picture A. So that is how I will do it. Thank you again.

My 2¢ would be to toss this tailwheel assembly and start over with another one, as this one probably isn't going to be reliable now.
