news Just be careful as often the engineer designed the bolts to be the "fuse" in the system. Replacing a grade 3 or 5 bolt with grade 8 can be akin to replacing a fuse with a penny. It may not hurt for a long time, but there comes the day... And you know this how ???? Example ??? Rich S. |

Not tryoing to start an argument---but maybe it's better to jerk the tailwheel off the spring, than to jerk the spring out of the ass of the airplane!--Jerry |

Rich S., I know this because I'm an engineer. Here's an example: http://www.howard-australia.com/products/Jaylor.htm Bolts designed to fail in shear and protect more expensive components are very common. A quick Google search should have easily convinced you of this. You are familiar with Google, right? |

"Matt Whiting" wrote Bolts designed to fail in shear and protect more expensive components are very common. A quick Google search should have easily convinced you of this. You are familiar with Google, right? I can certainly understand the value of a shear pin, in rotable machines. I'm not so sure of the value in the case of a tailwheel. If you were to hit a tail wheel hard enough to shear an axle in the tail wheel, the force that did that damage is still going to be there, and is going to continue pressing the tail wheel spring, until all the force has been dissipated. -- Jim in NC |

" Someone discovered that if you replace that
AN bolt with a CAT bolt, voila, problem solved. " That would indicate that the tail does not break off instead of the bolt breaking, after a stronger bolt is used. |

news Rich S., I know this because I'm an engineer. And I'm not - that may be why I asked. Here's an example: http://www.howard-australia.com/products/Jaylor.htm I notice that they make a point of stating that the bolt is a shear bolt. Must be a bit unusual if they feel the need to mention it. Bolts designed to fail in shear and protect more expensive components are very common. A quick Google search should have easily convinced you of this. You are familiar with Google, right? I don't remember getting snotty with you, Oh mighty engineer whose unreferenced opinions are above question. One more question - why should I do the search? You made the statement and I simply asked for a reference. I did not **** in your cornflakes. Stay away from mine. Rich S. |

One more question - why should I do the search? You made the statement and I simply asked for a reference. I did not **** in your cornflakes. Stay away from mine. You should do your own search as you should never trust answers you see posted in a newsgroup. I never touched your corn flakes? What is your problem? Matt |
