Tailwheel Incident

The Damage

The Fix

Mike, Shawn, and I flew wood over to the cabin yesterday to rebuild the roof, and on Shawns second trip in he had a little incident with his tailwheel. This can be a fairly common problem but when the tailspring snaps (which is what happened) usually it will ding the tailfeathers (rudder, horizontal stabilizer etc..). Luckily shawn didnt ding anything and he had a spare assembly back at the hangar. This happens enough to mike that he carries an extra tail spring with him usually. After the fix, shawn flew home and mike and i tooled around the cabin the rest of the day putting in running water, storing the wood, and scouting for moose.
