Brief Description:  Blacksmithing a tailwheel steering yoke

Starting on tailwheel steering yoke.
Mark Goldberg was kind enough to share a sketch of the Avipro style yoke. I prefer these because they end up lower and reduce the chain/spring angle.
The yoke is made from .190" 4130.

Took a bit of heat and hammer but got it close.

If I were to do it again. I might bend a rough shape and then shape it to final outline. Hard to get bend just right in such thick material.
