Hi Jay, I covered how to install the tail wheel spring, tail wheel, and angle of attack in detail with Mike on December 12. He’s asking the same questions of you guys again and getting the same

Hi Mike, If the mains are on a level floor then you hoist the tailwheel to where you want it to get WL15 level. If you measure the vertical height from the floor to the bottom of the tailwheel.

Hi Dave, Happy Winter to you in the NorEast! I was thinking of you when I posted that parody music video with the old C-150 on it! Cheers, Jay

Mike-------------  When I was building my Q200 Jay helped with my angle of attack. I sent Jay some pictures of the airplane stance and he found out I had the 7-8 degrees called for.  I had built my

Excellent - Thanks for sharing Jay

Sam, I'm wondering how much your ground angle of attack was changed when you changed your tail wheel configuration? -- Mike Steinsland mikeskustoms@...

Terrific! I sent it out to my Chapter and a few race pilots. Dam

I pretty much only use AN hardware . For the tail wheel pivot bracket I am using the AN-3 bolts. Same as the tail wheel axle. Sam

Just to get clarification which bolts are folks using and discussing here and which grade? There are AN bolts I think are 125ksi tensile strength (is that grade 5?) and then there are others from

Very tasty looking! ….but I think those planes need to be “de-iced” before flight….Sorry, could not resist. Cheers, Jay

My wife decided to commemorate my first flight of the year.

In reference to what Sam mentioned on deck angle, there has been lots of discussion over the years on ground angle of attack. Suffice it to say, that it all comes down to how your canard and main wing
