Try the AS&S Homebuilt Special tailwheel. I think it weighs around 3 lbs(4" diameter). And the Pietenpol A-Arm Coil Spring configuration is about apound or two lighter than a leaf spring. I cut 2 lbs off my tailwheelweight by using that design with the 4" tailwheel instead of a 6".Jack PhillipsNX899JP "Icarus Plummet"Raleigh, NC _____

Tail Wheel Weight FYIRe: AS&S Homebuilt Special tailwheel. Jack, I am very interested in the tail wheel you mentioned. I can't find it in the AS&S listing for tailwheels. How do I find it? Chuck in Winston-Salem. ----- Original Message -----

Tail Wheel Weight FYIThanks, Jack, but for $130 I believe I can stand an extra 2 pounds back there. If I have to, I'll move the wing back a fraction. ----- Original Message -----
