New figures indicate what can go wrong, how to make parts that might have been lost or left off the installation, and others show details of the assemblies and the correct stackup of parts.
The correct steering springs are noted for each of the two types of Scott tailwheels which are authorized for the planes and some hints of how to make sure you get the right ones from the suppliers.
