32-20-00 TAIL GEAR
The tail wheel is connected to a spring-type strut. This strut is attached to the frame in the
tail of the fuselage.
A tail wheel lock locks the wheel in a straight position for these functions:
 Straight taxi procedures are possible without many operations of the brakes.
 The lock prevents yaw movements during the landing rollout.
An idler behind the pilots seat connects the lock to the elevator control and can also
disconnect the lock. Thus, the tail wheel can move freely only when the control stick is
pushed forward on the last 2.5 cm (1 inch) of the stick travel.
The lock is connected to the control stick with a Bowden cable. This cable goes from the
elevator idler behind the pilot´s seat to the locking mechanism that is attached to the tail
wheel spring.
