Thanks Norm and Jim. However, I see two objections:
1) It would be extremely arrogant from my part to state that I found a solution
that thousands of home-builders and aircraft manufacturers haven't found before
me. There might be a "catch 22" in the cockpit-released device. It could be
interesting to find out what it is.
2) The solution to modify the Maule wheel, as I described, with a teleflex
cable from the starboard side latch system, is not very good. The cable will
make a loop that will catch anything on the ground. Not very wise.
The best solution would be a tailwheel assembly where the latch system is not
on the side but in front of the vertical axis. Of course, this would require an
entirely different manufacturing of the parts and not only a modification of
the existing one.
BTW, does anyone know why the Maule latch is at such an angle to the plane
axis? There must be a reason too. Hum, ... thinking, thinking ... any ideas, guys?
Cheers,
Michel

I am building a model 3 .Is there anyone out there on the list that can tell
me the best all weather prop for the 912 in a model 3 ? I've owned a
Challenger with a Warpdrive and it was simple to set pitch and a Bucaneer with
a Sport
Prop that was very simular to the Warp.Whats the Best Prop ? I know this opens
the great can of "Worms" and I'd like to hear from members that have used
more than one kind of Prop .The GSC prop is not an option .My Challenger came
with a wooden prop and dirt and small gravel do a number on them not to mention
being affected by moisture . I would like to hear from a few of you as to
what the best prop is and what dimeter and pitch your using

David,
Check out http://www.powerfin.com/ Although I haven't flown, I find it
easy to set and tracking was perfect. Others on the list report they are
happy with it.

David,
Personally I like the IVO in flight adjustable. I think bang for the buck
you can't beet it..... If you are trying to stay Light Sport Aircraft (LSA)
compliant then either the IVO or the Warp ground adjustable. If you are
going new I have either available.
Like you said this can open a can of worms....

If you go warp drive you can get the nickel inlay to prevent chipping from
flying in the rain.
