[rebel-builders] New issue FUS-30 thickness and FUS-30 doubler

Post by Ken » Sun Feb 19, 2012 5:24 pm

FWIW and to stir the pot ;)
I happily run the Matco one sided tailwheel and assert that neither the
tailspring or fuselage can tell the difference between a one sided or
two sided tail wheel fork. My spring has no twist whatsoever when the
wheel is forward and aft. Exactly the same as my former two sided fork was.

Of course this is with the side to side center of the wheel centered on
the spring. It is hard to imagine that the Maule isn't also centered
left to right?

It's always been .032... may have been a very few early ones that were .025.

Even with it doubled... I'm still seeing issues with them... especially from
the one sided fork Maule crowd. I have one in the hangar right now that I
repaired about 6 years back with a new Fus 30 and a new doubler. It has
started to crack on one side of the back corner behind the TS1's.... thanks
to the twist action from the one sided Maule tailwheel.
