+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I would recommend the "Aviation Products" tailwheel assembly that has served me well for 550 hours now. I think Mark Langford used that same assembly on 56ML I modified it a while back by having the arm lengthened a bit over one inch and installed a Matco 6" fully pneumatic wheel assembly (not shown in the photo). I love it!! It totally eliminated all the rumble of the old 4" solid wheel. My KR handles on the ground as well as any tri-gear with no braking action required. The springs are Maule anti-shimmy springs. The unit is steerable with breakaway full swivel at about 30 degrees. I can spin the KR on one wheel on the ramp. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32133949/IMG_8714.JPG Larry Flesner
