Here is a snapshot of the unlocking tailwheel. Whenever you need to push the aircraft backwards you remove the ring and pull out the bolt. This is where things can go wrong....You put the bolt in your pocket and go home after parking your baby in the hangar. Next time you come to fly...no bolt!
A possible solution for those of us with fading memories may be a string affair attached to the bolt!
Anyway this is a small price to pay for the convenience of being able to push the aircraft backwards with ease. In case you're wondering...the auto unlock type tailwheels on the market are too big, heavy and expensive for the whisper...in my opinion!
