Subject: tail wheel
Larry....
Question... What type of cable to use from Cockpit to tail wheel lock
up? I think I have the tail wheel working. Does the tail wheel go up
fast? It hits the lock up hard. Can this be adjusted by setting the
micro switch to shut the motor from the pump off just before it locks
up. This should be a good one for you. Hey have a nice day. Gary

Gary,
I have forwarded your message to the FEW builders page, because I'd
like to have other builders see that this can be a useful forum. So far, it has
not caught on, but the information that several of us exchange could be useful
to others, and there are others out there that have useful information for
us. It is really a very easy system to use.
As to your questions:
A 1/16 cable is more than adequate to trip the Lock lever on the
tailwheel. I used a 1/16 Bowden cable just because it is neat and tidy.
The tailwheel comes down and locks in a flash and with a bang,
without any hydraulic action. However, it retracts slowly and gently. Your
problem will be getting it to come up sufficiently to positively engage the Lock
lever. I found it necessary to lengthen the arm of the Elastomeric shock
absorber by ~5/8" with a phenolic wedge inorder to get reliable engagement. LRE
