I mean the steel plate that the chains connect to on the top of the tailwheel. It has a slot machined in it where the locking pin rides. Mine is fairly worn out and the tailwheel no longer even locks at all. By worn, I mean the little slot that the pin rides in is rounded out almost completely. It's been progressively getting worse over the past 6 months, but I finally have to fix it. I usually kept it greased up too, but maybe not enough since I fly off a grass strip..... 200+hrs and 400+landings (still using same "cheap" tires, almost look new)! Not much fun with a full swiveling tailwheel ALL the time, especially in the wind!! Anyway, just wondering, since I have to order another one from Van's -or- now I can order the "go fast" rocekt tailwheel link!!! Cheers, Stein Do Not Archive
