LANDING GEAR: Tailwheel Installation Part I

I purchased the Tailwheel Conversion kit from Glasair as the kit purchased by the original builder was configured as a tricycle gear version.

The TW Conversion kit comes packaged nicely with all parts required to install the Alaskan Bush Wheel tailwheel assembly including leaf springs, internal reinforcements, hardware, control cables, chains and steering springs.

Part I of the installation is to install the forward spring bolt bracket interior to bulkhead D and to reinforce the interior fuselage sides just ahead of bulkhead E with 3 layers of DBM fiberglass cloth.
