Question #2 of the day--maybe it's a dumb one--
Since I'm about ready to rivet the tailcone together, I assume I need to bolt the tailwheel spring rod into the mount permanently. (?) Otherwise, how would I ever access the nut on the bottom of that assembly later once the adjacent bulkheads are riveted into the skin? Am I missing anything?
I do find it curious that I will be unable to take the spring rod off ever again (without drilling through the tailcone skin on the underside for access to the nut). That said, it is kind of cool to see a tailwheel hanging off the back of the tailcone for the first time!
Thanks
