>>Doc Brusilow is correct.....you really don't want slack>in your tailwheel steering connections, cables, springs.I have 4 inch tailwheel on my Piet. It is less expensive than Scott or Maule& much lighter.I bought the assembly from Aviation Products Inc of Ojaj CA ( 805-6466042 )& modified to fit the standard Piet coil spring configuration.I fly from a concrete runway & still have the original tailwheel.Mike B Piet N6878MB ( Mr Sam )________________________________________________________________________________

Flew it off of SP's hard surface runway for ten years with no problems at all and bought another for the Piet. They sell both a straight swivel which I used and a full swivel. I would recommend the straight swivel. Don Hicks ________________________________________________________________________________Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2000 08:51:29 -0400
