Hello folks,
feeling prudent, and planning a visit to Aircraft Spruce next week, I plan purchasing a new (spare) tailwheel leaf-spring.
I have the Lang tailwheel (very similar to Scott 2000 with hard tyre) and need the leaf spring that has the profile of the side view of my existing tailwheel.
I am in the USA at present, so unable to inspect my aircraft, but believe it is the same '2 bend' set as in the other illustration.
Can anyone confirm the spring type needed for my aircraft (as seen in the aircraft tail side view) and is it the same '2 bend' as the illustration of the leaf set shown and, if so, what is the correct p/n !
hope this all makes sense
thanks
Graham

Re: leaf spring question
The photo of the plane looks like a single bend to me.
