Unhappy There goes another tail
Sure wouldnt want one on a skymaster. Ever put the brakes on when the bird is moving backwards? The good ole 337 tips over really easily that way. We won't even tow ours with a Lecktro tug because just lifting the nosewheel a couple of inches seems to move the CG dangerously toward the main wheels. If it's not strapped on tightly and the tug operator stops quickly while backing the bird.....Oops!

Don Neiser did have a nice new set of bottom covers for the vertical stabs though.
