Jul 25, 2020     Flyboys tailwheel arm fitting - (2.5 hours)       Category: Landing Gear
Drilled a 1/4 in hole in the Flyboy's (https://www.flyboyaccessories.com/product-p/1132.htm) steel tailwheel linkage to attach a Peter Anson Engineering tailwheel steering strut (http://www.ansoneng.com/sample-page/products-summary/6-pneumatic-tailwheel-to-suit-sonex/). The hole was located 2 in (std Sonex tailwheel pivot arm) from the pivot centerline. Attached and secured the Anson fittings. Full deflection of the rudder did not result in the tailwheel and castering.
A second 1/4 in hole inboard provided just enough tailwheel deflection to unlock the tailwheel. Left turning unlocks the tailwheel more readily than a full right turn.
