Hi all,
I've managed to damage the tail wheel mount following a prop strike event. The hole through the mount holding the spring in place has become elongated so that the spring can rotate a small amount. I'm looking at the best way to replace it, but it looks like I'm going to have to de-rivet some of the rear skin to get the mount out, and the new one in. Not having built an RV (yet!) I just wanted to see if that thinking was correct, or to get advice from anyone else unfortunate enough to have had to do this!
