Default RE: TailWheel Bracket Question?


ORIGINAL: nrad2000

For the tail wheel bracket I see they have different springs (the part that attaches to the rudder) availeable for steering. One is ''Heavy'' and the other is ''Light''. How do they perform differently?

On both my 4*s I used the heavy spring. The mistake I made with the 4*60 was to leave the spring long and I had very little ground control due to the flexing of the spring. I later made some mods that helped some. Thats the pic of the blue plane.

On my 4*40 I shortened up the spring quit a bit and it definitly works better. The Teal plane.
