He operates off grass but smooth. John ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 12:16:50 PM PST US From: Robin Young Subject: Re: Glasair-List: Bent tailwheel, 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.
