ETLB Squawk Forums — Archive

After a nice flight last weekend I pulled my A/B into the hanger but while sitting in the seat to make sure the switches and fuel valve were shut off I heard a loud pop. I looked back at the tail wheel and discovered it was up beside the rudder. The bottom two longerons and the tail post were broken at the tail rod anchor. I found Paul’s diagram on the repair and ordered the 4130 tubing then  cut and fitted them. Since I am not a welder my friend came over and welded them all up and tomorrow I will prime and finish it up with paint. Glad it happened in the hanger.
Thanks Paul
