One other oddity I noticed, what's that where the tail tie-down ring should be...a training wheel?

This guy must collect them. Being in his back yard like this, I can just imagine the neighborhood kids climbing all over these planes. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 14,782 Likes: 544 Member/10,000+ posts! | | Member/10,000+ posts!

I think it's an elevator cable pulley hanging loose... which makes me wonder how much "wind damage" may be hidden.

Like the little tail wheels some big jets have in case they are over rotated at take off. I was thinking if you opened that 180 up it just might do a wheelie and need the tail protecting. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 11,897 Likes: 405 Member/10,000+ posts! | | Member/10,000+ posts!

Hmmm, there are (2) photos that depict the 'tailwheel' and one of them looks like formed sheet metal to hold an axle for a wheel, rather than a pulley.
