Tail wheel Pneumatics and Doors
Connect the extend/retract air lines using the same convention as the main retracts. The tail wheel

The sprung wires are made using the approximate measurements shown; some adjustment may
be necessary for proper operation. Secure the wires to the horns using either small wheel collars
or a 'Z' bend. The "Door Wire" holds gear doors open and closed. The "Gear Wire" is engaged
when the tail wheel is retracted, closing the gear doors. Like the Door Wire, spring tension in this
wire also helps to hold the doors open when the TW is extended.
