Hi Ruedi
One more thing, Dont get rid of the pushrod that moves the rudder. Connecting
the
rudder cables directly to the rudder puts too much load on the rudder hinges
And the flange. Europa did take over my mod for this, the tailwheel is driven by
cables from a bracket bolted to the bulkhead.
It is possible to use the existing crank driving the old Classic tailwheel but
using the mod will save weight.

The later wheel is much better. I find the spring action perfect on take off
as there is nearly no transition from ground to air.

I never notice because I am concentrating on keeping it straight. If you do that
there is no bounce!
