clearly functions as a shock absorber and the entire assembly is designed to shear off in a ground loop. I ordered a replacement tailwheel assembly and used a 3M brand spray contact cement to mount the wheel assembly. I gave it 24 hours to cure and was able to pull the assembly off of the fuselage with very little force. There was no residue of the contact cement on the wheel assembly. Clearly, the contact cement did not adhere to the rubber. Can anyone tell me the proper type of contact cement to use for this application?
