<jnbolding1@teleshare.net>
Got a buddy with a II TD and 40 hrs total time, tailwheel assy bent to
one
side, easy enough to fix and strengthen but is this a common problem?
He
operates off grass but smooth.

John, I built a Glasair 1 TD in 1984 and still fly it. The problem you described
happened to me early on. I reinstalled the strut with the mill fiber as the
manual indicated and added bi=directional cloth around the outside and onto the
fuselage. It was probably 4-6 layers. No problems since. Robin Young 286YM.

Thanks for the reply Robin but the part that bent is the steel piece that
the wheel mounts in, any problems there?
Thanks John
