| Subject: | single brake pedal |
I am rebuilding a Mark 3 classic. It has the single brake pedal for both wheels.
The tail wheel swivels easily with the tail in the air. I think it is the OEM
tailwheel. Do you think I will have any trouble turning around on a 50 foot
wide grass runway?
Thanks
Bob

I can't speak for the MK3 but my Slingshot would have a hard time making that tight
a turn (probably impossible) without individual wheel brakes to enable break-away
of full swivel tailwheel.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
on my mkiii it was a tight fit on the 35 ft taxi way. with differential brakes
it was easier. one of the best things I did was the full pivoting tail wheel.
with your set up, how hard would it be to add the second break pedal?

Unrelated but an Interesting photo
I'll just throw this photo in for the fun of it. The pusher was found close to
this strip, just to show you how the poor people have to live . [Crying or Very

Enjoy, and be Happy !
