This Tailwheels’s a Snap
| Need a swiveling tailwheel for that electric P-51? Try using an ordinary clothing snap for your tailwheel on smaller planes. Epoxy the flat piece of the two-part snap to the bottom of the fuselage, solder on the tailwheel wire to the button snap and press the two snaps together. Your new tailwheel is ready to go. You can also use these snaps to hold hatch covers in place.
