WTB: used tail dolly

[David Campbell]

Looking perhaps for a tail dolly that could fit on a G102 III b, to
save making one. --MHYGA

Don't they all have a socket for a castoring wheel under the tail?

You know, they're designed to prevent you
flying with the tail dolly by falling out after you
lift off, then they bounce up and prang the glider
to remind you not to do it again ?

Word of warning! After a particularly muddy, ploughed
field landing, a rock and some mud got lodged in the
hole for the tail dolly of the Astir. 'I'll just push
my finger in to dislode the rock'...well, lets just
say there was a moment when your stomach sinks and
thoughts go through your mind 'Can I fly with 4 fingers?'
Luckily the little stone did move enough to get my
finger back out...

I recognize that the subject heading requires a hypen
between two of the three words. Will someone help
me figure out where it goes?

No. The later Astir's changed to a standard type tail dolly.
