Brief Description:  Tailwheel Mount Modification

We had quite a nervous weekend with the bush fires coming within 15 km of our house & 9 km from the hangar, no problems arose for us however we still have the remainder of a very hot summer ahead. Our thoughts go out to all that have suffered loss from these dreadful fires.

Today I started the modification of the tailwheel mount, many moons ago I fitted the original bracket but the factory has since upgraded the design so I am going to incorporate those changes in this build. The new bracket has some mounting holes in slightly different positions to the original & also upped the size of fasteners to 5mm from 4mm requiring all the rivnuts be exchanged. I'll modify the fuselage first then disassemble the rear spar of the vertical stabiliser as required to install 5mm rivnuts in place of the original 3mm. More than a few hours will be spent on this mod I'm sure.
