| SteveM | Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang | Build | 07-Sep-08 02:00 |  | | Views : 982 | | Here is where the wheel really wants to sit. I guess it is time to grind off all that epoxy and find a way to tilt the brass tubing forward so that the tail wheel will want to rest properly. |
| SteveM | Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang | Build | 07-Sep-08 01:58 |  | | Views : 864 | | The tail wheel was working just fine till I put on the main wheels and gave it a test roll. This is also the first time I have used a wheel with a metal hub so I was actually able to solder on metal washers to hold it in place. |

| SteveM | Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang | Build | 07-Sep-08 01:55 |  | | Views : 798 | | I was going to use small Du-Bro hinges on the tailfeathers till the unthinkable happened, someone set a "free" box outside their office door with a box of perfectly good 3.5" floppies in it. So now I have hinge material that it just the right size. |
| SteveM | Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang | Build | 30-Aug-08 23:48 |  | | Views : 862 | | After doing some more work today I couldn't resist temporarily attaching the tailfeathers to see if it wouldn't look more like a P-51. The next step is to install the tailwheel in its scale location then figure out how to make all the linkages work. |
