This easy-to-install tail skid is designed to save the tail cone on most single-engine Cessnas. Just remove the existing tail tie down ring and reinstall both on aircraft. 6-1/4"L. Stainless steel.
Tail Skid Fits Cessna: 150, 172, 182 style aircraft. |
We install these on all of our customers airplanes. Our Cessna 150 has one. Well worth not tearing your tie down ring off and causing bulkhead damage.
Installed this on a Cardinal as my son is using the plane for flight training. The tie down ring bolt was too short to re-install, so I used a straight bolt and a few washers to install it. Fits great and will prevent a tail strike as the spring steel hits the ground prior to the tailcone.
Just what I needed for my planes. Tired of seeing the tiedown ring worn away because instructors want students to keep the nose up. Kinda tight, but a bit of rolling works great.
Nicely made, hole was too big for my eyelet, needed a washer and the radius was too small to fit around the eyelet. Bent it the way it needed to be and put a washer on it and works good.
The weight is approximately 0.43 lbs.
Yes, that is correct. It is roughly 1" x 6", thickness 3/16.
