I have just a little experience teaching others how to tie this knot. I believethat If you really want to learn how to do it you have to demonstrate the stepsto someone else. Then you will never forget ! Usually takes less than 10minutes unless of course your norwegian!DanThat might be a violation!Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Tue, 20 Sep 2011 18:43:26 -0400Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: tail spring

Jeff,I believe Zenith 601's are now using 6061 gear legs. I know of at least one builderof the older HDS model that converted the straight, coil spring gear to bent6061. As I recall, he just bent the gear legs in a Harbor Freight press. Don'tsee why it wouldn't work for a tail spring.Gary------Original Message------
