I promise you tailwheel guys that you will never notice the noise because you will be having so much fun. And even if you do, it is really no big thing. I have 185 hours with one of them and it never bothered me a bit, not even a single little bit. There is a time for building and a time for FLYI

Most industrial or farm supply stores carry them on larger heavy duty casters, both 4" and 5" pneumatic swivel or straight. I opted for the 4" myself as will be working off unimproved strip probably should have gone for the 5 but wanted to save weight. Doug Rupert Simcoe Ontario.

OK Larry let me know how you make out and let me know if you want solid or swivel type mount since they come as a unit from TSC Stores. I'll pick one up and send it your way, or I could meet you at Orma's since he's half way between us and I'll hand deliver it to save customs BS. That way I get to
