You can also buy the channel at an automotive glass place. Its the same channel that was used in 30s and 40s cars. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using SuperCub.Org mobile app

I think I see the problem with our discussion. If you look at an automobile diagram you will see that the steering axis passes through the center of the wheel. On a tail wheel or cart, the steering axis is way ahead of the wheel and will never pass through the center of the wheel. That is what I...

The reason your sport bike is quicker steering is because the head angle is less positive than on the touring bike, making that distance from the tire contact point to steering axis line shorter,ie quicker steering. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using SuperCub.Org mobile app

Well wiki is wrong. If you study suspension geometry, if the steering axis is straight up and down ,it is at zero caster. If the top of the steering pin is back, it is positive castor. If the top of pin is forward it is negative castor. Look at any auto manual under wheel alignment and that is...

I have studied automobile stearing and suspension geometry. As a matter of fact I design suspensions for street rods etc. What you call wobble is a shimmy. And I beg to differ with you on thst grocery cart. When the wheel gets bent backwards, it is a negative caster. As far as termanology is...

Take another look and youll see that the tire contact patch is behind the steering axis. Excesive positive caster does cause wobble on a vehicle where that wheel is leading. Excessive negitive castor on a leading wheel does cause wander, but on a wheel thats trailing it does cause a shimmy...

The geometry of the matco might be different than the API. Thickness of tires has nothing to do with the pivot point of the wheel. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using SuperCub.Org mobile app

Yes you are correct. Bottom of pin is further back then the top. Re-arch the spring so that it is at a positive angle when loaded. Or you may be able to shim the tail wheel with a tapered shim. Its like a grocery cart that has a wherl shimmy. Its because the whell is bentback giving it a...

The most common reason tail wheels shimmy is because of a negative caster angle. It may be positive when empty, but egative when the airplane is loaded. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using SuperCub.Org mobile app

I dont usually like vinyl graphics on fabric, however I have used some 2" numbers on the tail. Local graphics can make them anyway you want. Size, height, spacing and font. Had them in 2 days Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using SuperCub.Org mobile app

I just moved from one hangar to another. Ill see if I can find it. Give me a few days. Email; jswalt@comcast.net. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using SuperCub.Org mobile app
