Well cool,

That is very close to what i want. Now it there were just some means of adjustment built in to keep them tight and centered, that would be perfect.

I have used these for a few years now. Never had a problem withkeeping them straight.
When you install them, the springs are put under about a 20% compression of their max compression and this keeps thing in line. You will never have a tail wheel steering issue with this setup.

Pretty cool,

Just read that thread, and posted a question in it. Hopeful for a good snap of his install to help with my lack of fishing equipment experience.

These are pretty good tailwheel setups, I used them on several planes before I went to a J&J tiller type setup. Once you get the springs set to about 20% compression and aligned with the rudder, just clamp the wires together and forget about it! I never had to adjust them.
