Total time for the Model S8A is 19 seconds for the 1.20" of travel
at 40 lbs. of force. These units can be
purchased from Aircraft Spruce.
Tail Wheel Replacement
 |
Stock tail wheel replaced with rubber coated wheel from Harbor Freight and Salvage. Gives a little more cushion when lowing the tail and moving the plane around. |
Reinforcing the Tail
By triangulating the tail with thin aluminum it removes approx 80% of the twisting motion in this area. |
Note it does not change the shape of the plane in any way but does add weight. |
