Thanks for the reply. Murphy is sending me a replacement for my =
fiberglass spring. The fiberglass spring is 1 3/4" wide and just fits =
my Scott 3200. When you said that the wheel must be parallel with the =
runway did you mean vertical? If not, could you explain further. In =
the June 1998 issue of LIGHT PLANE MAINTENANCE there was an article =
titled "Tailwheel Tips" that had some great drawings of the Scott 3200 =
tailwheel and some info on rigging tailwheels.

I got the fiberglass spring with my kit. It flew with it and we =
found it very "bouncey". The airplane dropped off a ladder while doing =
a weight and balance and totally shattered it.=20
We replace the fiberglss with the older aluminum 6061 tail spring. =
It flattened out in a matter of monthes.=20
We replaced the 6061 spring with the steel two leaf that they =
offered for a time. It flattened out over the winter.=20
We replaced the steel leaf with the new 7075 spring. It has been on =
two years now and works with no problems and hasn't flattened one bit.=20
We are using and have always used the Scott tailwheel.=20
Keith Kinden made a suggestion at the very beginning that I think is =
valid. The wheel must be paralell with the ground to avoid chatter and =
wild manuevers. The aluminum spring can just be squeezed in a vise to =
flatten to the desired angle. All other styles require tapered shims.=20
The Scott is available in two spring widths. The one that is right =
will work fine on all springs. I think it is the 1 1\2". All springs =
will work with it.=20
And that is all I have to say about that.=20
