John,
Why do you need differential brakes for flying?

Rick,
My FS broke the lower aluminum tube flush with the steel just like the pict
ure.I reinforced it using a thicker tube and months later it broke at the s
teel tube up by the ring as in the photo.If you just push on the top of the
tail post you can quickly identify the side loads that affect these tubes
even WITH a swivel tail wheel.I am a believer in these braces but It looks
like no one but me feels that way about the tail spring clamp.

Thank You Rick I have just repaired my second Tail post on a different kol

d supports just my experience but results may differ from other views

I have never seen that kind of breakage. I have to ask if plane was built t
o specifications. My MKIIIC has a fairly strong .125 wall bottom tube that
has in most Kolbs kept that kind of breakage from happening. Normally we s
ee side loads causing the problems Ellery has described the fix for. I have
had the turning bogie wheel and now the locking/swivel tail wheel on my MK
IIIC both of these wheels can produce the side loads that can cause long te
rm failure of the tail post without the fix.

Ellery,
I respectfully disagree. The non-turnable Pizza Cutter tail wheel puts a si
de torque on the lower tail-fin midway, so when forced into a tight turn, i
t will break, where as a swivel wheel eliminates this problem.
Take note where mine broke in two places. I don't believe your concept woul
d offer any solution to this, because you are reinforcing it in the wrong l
ocation.
Hope this photo helps clarify things.

this information, what material are you using to make the braces? Lanny,

With a full swivel tailwheel and differential brakes, ground handling in tight
places is very easy and I'm glad I have them on my Slingshot. Balancing wheels/tires
is pretty simple with the go-kart wheel balancer.

I start logging flight time when I start the engine. Taxi,
takeoff, and landing, are part of the "big picture" of
flying. Sorry if you did not understand.
What did you think I meant?
