Explorer tailwheel assembly

Postby Aerosan » Thu Jul 03, 2014 7:17 pm

Ok so I have decided to bite the bullet and make my plane a real one. Does anyone have a tail wheel assembly they are willing to part with for a fair price?

Cheers Sanna

Hi Sanna,

Just remember that the main landing gear for a training wheel setup is not the same as the tail dragger option.

Be careful.

Some okes are so fixated about taildraggers that you might be dissapointed if you don't have a hard on once you've landed. :lol: vhpy

Well tailwheel sure is hard to beat!! I would suggest the Matco tailwheels. I have installed 4 different tailwheels across two different Kitfox bushplanes that ride on tundras and they are great value for the dollar spent. I'd recommend that solution!

Hi Brendon

Ill look at the matco for sure but at the cost right at this moment to change is just piling up. Thanks for the reply.
