Maule Tail Wheel

Can the "break away" sensitivity of the Maule be made LESS
sensitive. Currently it full swivels with less than full
application of rudder. I have checked it and it does not have a shim
under the "horn part" (lack of a better word), but it does unlock
prematurely.

Thanks,

Larry

Re Maule tail wheel

There is a GREAT explaination on the Maule at www.bowersflybaby.com/tech/Maule_tailwheel.pdf

From the pictures presented, it appears that my steering tit was put in backwards and the spring was trimed to accomodate it!

It looks like you have answered your own question. You also want to take off, clean and inspect the steel ramp that the thinging rides on. I have had one that had some very fine cracks in it and it would flex too muck causing it to "premature release"
