Hello,
In March 2017 purchased a flying RV-6. Unlike the builders who learn and understand what the systems do, I have to ask questions about issues.
Hopefully someone can help with an on-going problem:
My Tail Wheel is not working properly. It is not working when applying rudder inputs, in other words it is full castoring only.
Can someone give me a clue why from the photos?
Where to buy the parts needed as well?
Photo 1 is the overall type:
Photo 2 closeup of problem I think-looks like this should be sticking out to catch the arm from the rudder connection?
Photo 3 Different angle-shows a small piece that might be jamming it from sticking out?
Thank you for your help with my problem.
Best regards,
Mike Bauer
