Hello, I am finally getting around to switching over my Haigh (sp?) to an API Steerable tailwheel with my rod type stinger. A couple of questions.. (and please forgive me if it’s been answered before but I couldn’t find it anywhere), but what is the proper angle relationship should I have on my S1S (exp) for the tailwheel setup sitting on the ground? I have a new rod and I have to bend it to the proper angle and I’m not really sure what that is., I looked in the S1-S plans and didn’t see where it showed it. Second, What spring set up should I use for the springs and clips? Maule? Or try to get them from Aviat or Spruce? Does it matter? Thank you very much in advance!
Greg
