tail wheel spring
Just received new alaskan Bushwheel tail spring to replace the one I have. I have a scott 3200-3 tail wheel and the spring came with one hole in the end. My scott has two bolts securing it to my tail spring. Has anyone else had this problem and if you are around WUP , do you have a spring with two holes. Also maybe it's just me but the angle of the Alaskan spring looks off. My spring has a arch to it where as the new one has about a 45 degree bend in the middle. Maybe after it's installed with weight on it it begins to flatten out a bit.... If no answer before the end of the weekend I'll call Alaskan on Monday but I figured I'd see if anyone knew the answers.

Thanks Jeremy, I'm learning whole bunches about my maule since I bought it a year ago. It's annual time. That's what I get for buying one from a Minnesota Farmer. ALso the tail spring on it now is a four leaf spring. Looks pretty heavy duty and is curved, but is starting to flatten a bit which is why I bought the new one.

Butch --
Yes you have a Pawnee spring and TW on your Maule. Check the Paperwork to see if and when it was approved on your airplane (no STC)
and go from there.
The Pawnee spring don't have the correct angle to it thats why you have the large spacer between the fuse and spring.

right you are as usual Hotshott. It has a large spacer between spring and fuselage. I don't have shimmy or bad performance now but the angle is a little flat. THat's why I'm changing it prior to my trip up north. I don't want any problems cropping up in the idaho back country. Thanks again for your advice. You and Jeremy are the encyclopedias of Maule.
