Tailwheel Maintenance

Post by billmccown »

The new LightPlane Maintenance June 2003 issue has a 4 page article on tailwheel maintenance. It deals mainly with the Scott 3200 but, also talks about springs, leaf springs,and tailwheel rigging. If you don't receive the magazine you should be able to find a copy at your local FBO or your A&P should have a copy.

Bill,

For the benefit of those of us who cannot find a copy, would you please summarize the salient points of the article? What are Light Plane Maintenance's greasing recommendations, how to correct shimmy problems, etc. Scott publishes little or nothing on maintenance of their products and I'm sure many of us would like to see this article.

Thanks, Bruce
