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.

Mark, I got "burnt" on looking for a pnuematic tire last year. I found one on a wheelchair and after buying the wheel and bearings (which turned out to be the wrong size) they couldn't get me the tire. What's the actual diameter of the tire? What's the axle size? What's the width of the

Takeoff speeds should remain the same since you would be lifting the tail off the runway and then accelerating to takeoff speeds. This of course is for a normal takeoff. For a shortfeild takeoff you would keep the tail on the ground until the plane lifts off and the tailwheel could hinder

For a shortfield takeoff you would keep the tail on the ground until the plane lifts off Hello Net. On a hard surface you are correct, but on sod, especially wet or some what long, the tail wheel becomes that much more drag, and needs to be lifted off to help acceleration. Orma Southfield, MI

Hi Ray. The tail wheel setup didn't work for me, though there wasn't anything wrong with it. I don't think the filler block was 12" off the ground, but it was higher than many of the tail draggers I saw at the Gathering this fall. I sold the tail wheel setup to Ed Blocher in Florida. I seem to

Carbon fiber is somewhat brittle, so I would not do that. I put an auto leaf spring on the Little Beast after the original got twisted. We have the normal spring on this KR, but it's extension is very short, so I am anticipating no problems with the spring. I just wish I had that tail wheel

Ideally everyone would like a soft tailwheel. I found just that at the compton airshow/airfair yesterday. A scooter called the "Big Foot" has small air tires witch would work great as a tailwheel. This is not the big foot go-ped.Im working on gettign a phone # or website right now. Justin
