Landing gear prep, tail wheel install: 6 hours


  • Trimmed both inboard wheel pant mounts to clear Matco calipers
  • Cleaned up wheel pant mounts
  • Installed right brake caliper mount and wheel pant mount on gear leg.
  • Installed tail wheel yoke on tail spring. Taper pins work great!
  • Greased and installed Screaming Eagle tail wheel fork and steering arm with tie down ring.
  • Also installed my light weight tail wheel.
  • Readied left gear leg and wheel assembly for install including drilling the axle for the cotter pin and all the same steps as the right gear  (this one went a bit faster then the right!).
