Tail Wheel Repair



After many attempts with soldering irons I finally just used a plumbers torch to attach the brass tube to the bracket. I first protected the plane with tin foil, as best I could, generously tinned the parts and then gave them a quick blast. This reduced the chances of a cold joint which I believe has been the problem. I then used JB weld to add another layer around the parts. Hopefully thats it!
