Bud,

You said:
"Should the tail wheel spring arm be installed about 2 inches higher 
than the manual described, the tail wheel geometry will actually drive 
the rudder and flick the tail wheel around when passing 60 degrees 
causing the tail wheel to restrict rudder movement and a loss of control 
will occur."

Sorry but I'm not sure exactly what you mean . . . .  are you saying 
that if the rear most part of the tailwheel spring is higher (rear of 
fuselage lower) or rear most part of the tailwheel sping is lower (rear 
of fuselage higher) ?

Thanks
Kingsley in Oz
