From: Gary Aman 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.

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.

From: Gary Aman 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.
