      Ernest, why do you think you need a locking tailwheel as one might see on a
      Cessna 185 ? I might understand if the rocket had a long moment and was
      prone to ground loop? I landed in about a 22 knot crosswind which was about
      70 degrees to my landing direction(left) and the rocket responds much better
      than my ole venerable C180 or that Pawnee that we use for towing out of
      Truckee,CA  I am not saying that the airplane will land itself ( you still
      have to have lots of footwork ) and correct control inputs, but  the rocket
      really behaves compared to the above aircraft. You may have to design your
      own looking setup if you decide to go that direction, Scott does not make
      one that small, maybe some of the other rocket guys know of one?  Happy
      flying,  Bob, N#999RM, Beckwourth ,CA----- Original Message -----

      Well, after a 2 year repair process I am finally about to get N540HB
      flying again.  My last item that I would like to procure for the plane
      is a locking tail wheel.  Does anyone know where I could find one of
      these for my plane?  I have posed this question to the board before and
      have lost the responses so please forgive the repetitiveness.

      I made a cardboard template of what I wanted and took it to an offroad
      chassis shop and had it bent from scrap tubing (crmo) while I waited.
      Cost $20. Then I welded it to the Rocket cross member, ground and
      finished the welds and away we go!

      Does anyone have a drawing/plans for a roll over hoop which fits inside
      the 
      Rocket canopy that looks like a race car hoop?  i.e. about 20 inches
      across at 
      the base, and 12 inches high and slightly "A" shaped.  I am also
      considering 
      an upside down "U" shaped hoop about 7 inches across at the bottom and
      12 
      inches high which improves the back seater's view.  Any comments or
      considerations 
      would be welcome.  Also, someone has a cable in their hoop which is the
      canopy 
      tilt limiting device??????             Les Featherston  Missouri

      N206KT is set for DAR's inspection on 8/11.  Wish me luck.

      The problem that I have had is that in a strong x-wind where there is a
      lot of playing on the rudder pedals to keep it going down the runway my
      tail wheel will disengage and go into free spin which is not fun.

      Ernest, why do you want a locking tailwheel?  Fix what you have so that
      it will not unlock quite so easily, and it will be far better than a
      locking one.  I have flown locking tailwheels extensively, on everything
      from Pitts to Cessnas to Sukhoi SU-29's, and they are a PAIN IN THE
      BUTT.  Give me a good strong steering/full-swivel tailwheel on anything.

      on a
      Cessna 185 ? I might understand if the rocket had a long moment and was
      prone to ground loop? I landed in about a 22 knot crosswind which was
      about
      70 degrees to my landing direction(left) and the rocket responds much
      better
      than my ole venerable C180 or that Pawnee that we use for towing out of
      Truckee,CA  I am not saying that the airplane will land itself ( you
      still
      have to have lots of footwork ) and correct control inputs, but  the
      rocket
      really behaves compared to the above aircraft. You may have to design
      your
      own looking setup if you decide to go that direction, Scott does not
      make
      one that small, maybe some of the other rocket guys know of one?  Happy
      flying,  Bob, N#999RM, Beckwourth ,CA----- Original Message -----

      Not sure on the type of tail wheel, someone else built it, I just fly
      it.  What do you have on your Maule that is so hard to unlock, sounds
      like that is what I need.

      The problem that I have had is that ... tail wheel will disengage and go
      into free spin which is not fun.

      What kind of tail wheel do you have that unlocks that easily?? My Maule
      won't unlock until I FORCE it by using lots of differential braking!

      What brand? Have you used a grease gun on the fittings.  Grease getting on
      the dampener of a Scott can cause shimmy and other problems.

      Ernie:  Not knowing what you have on your bird, (but doubt you would
      want the one on a Maule, they are always huge), I would suggest that you
      take a close look at what you have, and figure out how the locking
      mechanism works.  It is usually a simple matter to tighten them up, so
      it won't break loose so easily.  It is possible that it is worn,
      typically there is a locking pin that sometimes gets rounded off so that
      it slips out of its locking slot too easily.  If so, you might need to
      make a new pin.  It's just a simple piece of bar stock.  Or the slot may
      be egged out--that can be rewelded and reground, or replaced.    
              They are usually pretty easy to fix.  Take a look.  
      
      Lee Taylor
