Aug 24, 2022 1.8 Tailwheel axle conversion to tow bar bolt; Tailwheel chains Category: Landing Gear
1. Removed the tailwheel. Removed the stock tailwheel axle.
2. Cleaned and greased the tailwheel.
3. Replaced the axle with a Flyboys Accessories tow bar bolt. Added a washer on each side to allow the cotter pin to be inserted. Finger-tightened and safetied the nut.
4. Prepped the tailwheel chain clevises by spreading them slightly, so they fit the steering arm. Prepped the attachment hardware. I am using a slightly heavier-duty sash chain and connector clips than stock. I am also attaching the chains in a way that will prevent the holes from becoming oblong with use.
