After a rough landing, I minimally bent my experimental's tailwheel spring
and need to have it straightened. It is a piece of round solid ferrous steel, 39" long, 1.25" in greatest diameter as it enters the fuselage midway along its length and tapers to about 0.75" at each end. Alloy composition and type of heat treatment are unknown. At max gross, the static load on the tailwheel is ~205 lb. Is it possible to have it straightened? If so, what type of shop should I look for to do this kind of work. Does it need to be heat treated after straightening and if so, to what PSI. Any help is appreciated. I live in Phoenix but am glad to ship it somewhere to have the work done right. Thanks in advance. Dave Uhrbrock |
