L-23 tailwheel assembly - factory says 6 months for replacement
Does anyone have any experience repairing the tailwheel on a Blanik L-23?
Ours failed, and it appears that it had been repaired before, so with all the cracks, etc., it doesn't look easily repairable. Photos available he https://www.flickr.com/gp/soar5z/LJnfXW Apparently Vitek ay Blanik America just got a response from the factory and not only do they not have a price, but will need 6 months to manufacture the part(s). And we've been waiting almost 2 months to get this answer. How about modifying for a fixed wheel? -Tom |

L-23 tailwheel assembly - factory says 6 months for replacement
I was hoping not to read something like that because I'm about to try sourcing some parts for our L-23 from the new TC holder and was hoping for better results than we used to get (i.e. no help whatsoever).
I may be able to get a look at a wrecked L-23 the club used to own this week. I'll let you know if that part on it looks like it might be worth salvaging. |

A non-standard tailwheel on a Blanik is mentioned in this NTSB report.

L-23 tailwheel assembly - factory says 6 months for replacement
I checked our wrecked L-23 and unfortunately the tailwheel fixture you need is damaged on ours too. Sorry I couldn't help.
