THIS TAILWEEL FAILED. GO TO LOG ENTRY ON OCTOBER 11, 2019 FOR A MUCH BETTER OPTION.
I drew the outline of the tailwheel arms on the workbench and then bent the 1/16" steel to shape before welding to the caster. The heat of welding burned the grease out of the ball bearing race so will add more shortly to avoid rusting. Drilled a few 1/2" lightening holes.
