hi jeff...could you tell me what your using for a tail wheel spring...brad d.

When I built the larger tail for my KR, I built a split elevator with each half removable. I used a pair of aluminum plates with 8 AN3 bolts to sandwich the two spar halves with the elevator belcrank attached to the two bolts in the center. I have somthing on the order of 370 hours on this incarnation of the elevator. Some info and photos of it are on my web site at <http://jscott.comlu.com>. You'll have to go to the KR page, then drill down to the tail mods page. -Jeff Scott Los Alamos, NM ----- Original Message ----- From: Martin Pearce Sent: 12/22/11 02:09 AM To: kr...@mylist.net Subject: KR> dividing the elevator As I have some major rework to do on the fin and sternpost, I was wondering about dividing the elevator into two halves and using, say, two L shaped metal pieces bridging the now divided spar so they form a box around the spar and bolted with two bolts (3/8?) o9n each side. This would make it easy to remove for maintenance / painting ...... Comments would be appreciated. Has this been done before? Can't find anything in the archives ....
