Wanted Manufacturer's original Documentation SCOTT 3200

Post by MoonlightVFR »

Scott 3200 Tail wheel is excellent for the C 170

It faithfully follows you every where you go. Very durablke for many years.

I need assistance in locating original Scott factory documentation on the 3200.

I have the cessna parts manual with exploded parts view and list of parts numbers. Obviously a parts manual is not written with an informed owner in perspective.
I want the description that Scott would have provided to the air frame manufacturer. Typically 20- 40 words about typical tail wheel functionality. .

Searched the web cannot locate ... did note a new to me company name ..The landing Gear Works, Renton WA. .. appears ready to sell parts./

I don't want parts I want original documentation.

The 170 Book and the SRAM carried a small bit. The Scott tailwheels were also used in industrial applications and no luck finding any more than whats in those books.
The U.S. Army had a technical mx/ovhl manual but it appears to be out-of-print and I've been searching for a copy for over ten years now with no luck.
Scott was absorbed by Tyco and that company has it's own troubles/distractions and is unhelpful in this regard.

You probably have this already, but it's the best thing I can find.

Despite being from Cessna, the SNL 10 24 50 errs in that the springs being incorrectly installed in a stretched condition will not prevent the TW from unlocking. Also other Cessna documents state the inflation to be 34 psi. Scott's own graph allows a range of pressure dependent upon applied-weight. The range graph accommodates both recommendations....and that is what the SNL is... a recommendation not a specification.
