Pitts Project - Day 15

I said the next step was the firewall installation.  I lied.  I decided to make a decision on which tailwheel I would use.  The top photo was the original tailwheel, it's an oversize (6 in) Haigh Tailwheel from the 80's.  They are locking tailwheels and not real controlable.  I decided to remove it and install my favorite the ASI (Aircraft Specialties Inc) tailwheel.  It is a steerable control wheel that has gained quite a following over the years.  I had one on my Acroduster Too and loved it.  I am not sure I will stick with the 1.25 tailwheel springs (with adapter) but we will see.  I also fabricated new rudder control cables with double nicopress sleeves.  That's it for today, Over & Out!
