• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web.

Thoughts on these two options for attaching chains to the tail wheel arm?

I started with the set up on the right with the clip on the tail wheel arm. I think there is too much slack and I had the chain come off the left side clip on the trip home. I’ve got a new clip but was would like to add the eye bolt to both arms of the tail wheel arm. My concern is the chain getting caught and snagged on the bottom of the eye bolt. These eye bolts are a hit long but the only ones I have today.

One less link is just a bit too taught. The springs are under a bit of tension when centered.

I’ll change to the carabiner clips when I get them ordered.

Thanks for your thoughts.
