Well said Oscar ,,
I measured mine and all i need for a hint of some visibility is 4 more inches up in the back , same wheel just just a 3 inch bracket . But i will be sure to redo weight and balance . But as it looks the tailwheel axel will be exactly in the same place , and will just add 1 pound . Its unbelievable but with just a 3 inch rise ,i can actually see where i am going . with out really afecting any landing configuration or any real change on the angle attack of the wings,,, KevinAt 01:12 PM 1/5/04 -0600, you wrote: >Tim wrote- > >>I have one of those wheels on my work bench >>I'll take you up on your specs. > >Not sure what you said here, because if you have one on your work bench you >have the specs.
