Photos of the BT-13 tail strut

Wed May 10, 2006 10:11 pm

Paul,
Hi, my name is Russ Harmuth and I would like to make a slightly unusual request. Could you send me a couple of digital photos of the BT-13 tail strut? I am building a full size Spitfire Replica and am trying to find a "factory" built tail strut that I can use in my airplane without build one from scratch. I have a Mark 14 retractable, original, Spitfire strut, but would rather see it go into an original airplane. It, being British, is also too complicated, thereby expensive, to duplicate, so, thought if there is a surplus American unit that would adapt, it would save a LOT of work.
Thanks in advance,

Paul - tell Russ to email me at warbirds@shaw.ca and I'll send him a dead one that's still attached to an old tailcone I have.
