1. Tailwheel installation. The standard tailskid has little shock absorbing capability, which means that ground contact (takeoff, landing, ground handling, etc) can transfer shock through the lower fuselage, fin, rudder, tailplane and elevators and add to the possibility of local delamination of hinges, ribs, etc. (See item 9 in Maintenance Notes.) One way of softening impact under the rear fuselage is to fit a pneumatic 210 x 65 tailwheel assembly according to GFA MOD 81-2 a kit for which may be available from the Grob distributor. This wheel will reduce ground loop risk, and experience indicates that inertia loads during even mild ground loops can cause extensive damage to the rear fuselage/ lower fin area. NOTE! Be sure to amend the cockpit minimum pilot weight placard as necessary for the change in balance created by the heavier wheel. 2. Grob Service Bulletin TM 306-32 describes the optional installation of Wedekind safety sleeves on the L’Hotellier couplings.
