Getting close to being ready to fly.
Looking at my tailwheel from the side, the line vertically through the axle down is 'trailing' meaning the top is in front of the bottom. I understand this is a recipe for shimmy.
I have a Maule tailwheel with the steel leaf springs. I suppose the only way to deal with it is to increase the bend angle in the leaves so it brings the vertical line so the top is slightly behind the bottom.
If this is indeed the way to fix the problem, any ideas how to best bend the leaves other than renting a bulldozer?
Thanks!
