Hey Tom, I notice in your pics above and also when I lay the CAD drawing of the tailgear over the Matt drawings that they don't match up very well. Even though you've built the short tailgear the entire assembly is still much longer than what is shown on the plan. Are we concerned that this will effect the stance of the airplane on the ground or is it a matter of the Royal and Matt drawings not being accurate?

More clarification - It appears to me as though arms A and B and the 3/16 angled brass is all much longer than scale with the result being that the entire tailwheel strut/fork assembly is much further from the pivot point than it should be.
