'Anybody out there have a 24 with a Scott 3200 (or the like) on a
leaf spring mount? I've heard it done and am curious if a member here
has info (i.e. 337's). I searched the message archives and saw no

'Scott,
It was done one time in Switzerland it was not a very good installation.
There are not 337's in the states for the conversion.

Re: Scott T/W
'Paul,
Well stated. Also the Waco owners have converted to the 3200 and leaf
springs. They end up replacing the springs due to sag and also modify the
3200 with a locking device to prevent shimmy. The last 1930 WACO ASO
destroyed a right wing returning from Bartlesville. The empty weight at the
three point is between 250 and 300lbs. Then add fuel, pilot & passengers and
the weight can hit an easy 450-500lbs. That is a lot of weight on a
tailspring.
Lesson here, stick with the org manf equipment.
