How about fixing the wheel so that it doesn't travel on the axle? Only one shoe would apply pressure, maybe not enough to raise the tail...good compromise?

Better yet - a split washer or spring either side of the wheel. Sized right so that shoe disc can compress it as well, but would prevent wheel from binding without brake application. Experimental a/w certificate allows such experimentation...

I'd have to see the glider to work up a proper estimate. But the ballpark is probably around $1500 installed and ready to use.

Not necessarily. Read the operating limitations to see what it says about the maintenance requirements for the aircraft. |
