Frank,
Where are you located? I have a spare stern post if you need to redo the
whole spring installation.

Betreff: Europa-List: classic tail wheel
--> <spcialeffects@aol.com>
Hello all. I am building a classic mono and am fitting the tail wheel at the
moment. I am also using the XS stern post instead of the classic build
option. Today i drilled the hole in the stern post, in the correct location
BUT i followed the wrong line. I drilled it in line with the angle of the
spring mount of the wheel and not the fuselage bottom :( . I have the
correct distance from the bottom of the fuselage and the spring end 235mm,
plus i have a good fit around the spring arm through the stern post but i
now need 12 plys or shims under where the bolt goes.
SO what im asking is should i go with the 12 shims and use a longer
bolt OR file the hole at the bottom and and get the correct 5 or so shims
but have an untidy fit around the stern post area? All views/advice welcome.
Thanks Frank
