    Tail Wheel Steering, Springs vs Fuel Tubing or other setups

    Composite anything is a blessing and a curse. All the strength is in the skin. If you cannot get hold of it in two directions you are in trouble. If you are installing the guide pin for the tiller arm (direct drive system)  I always recommend finding a 1/2" to 3/4" dowel and move it toward the...

    Tail Wheel Steering, Springs vs Fuel Tubing or other setups

    Maybe I can add some specifics and illustrations to this discussion. There are lots of ways to steer a tail wheel including not steering it at all. Below are some pictures that illustrate what I consider to be well done tail wheel installations as well as a link to a .pdf file with graphic...

    DA 170 shakes

    I did a little (very little :smile-new: ) thinking about getting the engines cyclical vibration to the airplane's center of mass. Here is a couple of illustrations of a simple devise that can be fabricated from aluminum 1" diameter .049 wall tubing and some 1/16 sheet 6061 aluminum. It should...

    DA 170 shakes

    Pardon me for butting in on this thread but I might be able to shed some light on the vibration issue. Nothing really dampens cyclical vibration like mass. Unfortunately mass and light weight are difficult to achieve together. Since we need to keep our airframes as light as possible the next...

    Lifting your plane to the ceiling

    Sorry about that. Below is the first image that comes up on my laptop 19826=12776-motorlift 1.jpg Here is what I see after I select "run" 19826=12777-motorlift 2.jpg Try this: I'm using the web sites posting icons to do this. Me thinks this part of...

    Lifting your plane to the ceiling

    This is a product test survey. Below is a link to a video of a neat little motorized plane lift that will lift your plane high enough to get your car under it assuming you have at least an 8' ceiling height in your garage. It can be used in the workshop or most anywhere else as far as that goes...

    White rose brakes

    The rebellion induced proliferation of giant scale web sites may be great for the participants but it is not a blessing for the advertisers, more advertising dollars needed to cover the same customer base.

    White rose brakes

    Nice job guys, I tried to design the brakes to be all things to all people and they almost are :tongue-new: Earle, how long have you had those wheels? I haven't made them for over 5 years. All the new 1/4" axles come with the double "C" clip set up. The problem has always been...
