Travis,
This is a quick cure for the tail spring rattle and misalignment.Remove the
tail spring,cut two slots in the short stub of the open end of the tail sp
ring tube so that the clamp can compress the tube around the spring when it
is tightened.The clamp is aluminum,1/2 inch thick, with 2 counter sunk cap
screws that tighten from the bottom....JBM made mine but it's a simple mac
hine shop operation.
Here is a photo.

Subject: Kolb-List: Re: tailspring?
Just figured I would give an update....
I went flying over the weekend to test out the shorter tail. As far as han
dling
due to any CG changes there were none. However, I did not do a great job o
f
drilling out the new hole. Acutally the hole in the tailpost is not straig
ht,
so I had to enlarge the hole in the tailspring rod so the bolt would fit th
ru.
I tightened it down and I thought it was fine, but it wasnt. After the fir
st
flight on landing the tailwheel went to the side and there was no straighte
ning
it back to center. The landing was ok and no groundloop but the taxi back
to
the trailer involved some whirly doo's on the taxi way. Anyway, learning
experience (and I already cut another inch off and redrilled and also order
ed a
new tailspring from Travis.

Travis,
I don't know how many hours you have on your plane but you should really co
nsider installing the John Hauk braces on the tail ring.They will save you
a ton of grief down the road.You can see them in that photo I posted for yo
u. G.Aman
