<h3>Planning to use a heavy-duty double fork 6” dia. Full swivel/ steerable from
Aircraft Spruce with leaf spring. The plane is being built to plans with some
type of Lycoming up front no radial, standard gear. Should a 45 degree or 20 degree
angled tailwheel be used? Pros and cons
how does it affect the landings? I have seen previous postings on tailwheel types
including the very informative posting on castor angle by jgnunn. Would
appreciate some guidance. Thanks Tim</h3>
