See Attached Picture Without twisting, the a arm does not swing freely and the tabs flex as it swings. The plans for the A-arm suggest his but there are no notes on the plans indicating to twist the fitting. So do I put a twist in it? or is there something wrong with my setup.

I tried sending this last night and it didn't seem to go through. So I removed the attachment and see if it works this time, It didn't. Sorry if you get multiple post but I need an answer to this question. On the stock tail wheel fittings, the tab that projects below the fuselage, do they get a slight twist so the hinge bolts are perpendicular to the swing axis? this would make the tab parallel to the long axis of the plane. Without twisting the tabs, the a arm does not swing freely and the tabs flex as it swings. The plans for the A-arm suggest his but there are no notes on the plans indicating to twist the fitting. So do I put a twist in it? or is there something wrong with my setup.

My wing weighs between 97 and 100 pounds without gas tank and fabric. Is that too much? Was Bernard very optimistic?. I try to be specially careful building light since I am using hemlock instead of spruce and will use a Ford A engine. Thanks in advance. Santiago --------------------------------- Pregunt. Respond.

Chris, I braized the bolt in and use a cotter pin, like the plans call out. I didn't twist mine, and it seems to work fine. The A arm only sees about a 1 0=BA arc of movement. Very slight twist, or no twist, I think it's fine either way. Chuck G. NX770CG
