Mike,
I think I answered the wrong question. The tailwheel itself looks just like
the one we've been talking about...a four inch wheel. See my link yesterday
for Aircraft Products' email address. You'd need to know the axle diameter.
They come in both 3/8" and 1/2", and perhaps others, altho

Can some of you guys tell me what is the wheel base on your tail dragger KR?
That is, distance between tires on main gear?
Thanks,

I wouldn't call it wasted effort. ?FWIW, I agree that one should use the sealed
bearings. ?The point I was trying to make was that your web page read like you
seemed to think Aircraft Spruce was doing something with malicious intent. ?I
don't believe that to be the case. ?But your point that if
The distance between the tailwheel axle and the steering yoke won't allow for a
larger tailwheel. ?If you bought the 6" model of the same tailwheel, then you
have a semi-pneumatic tire (hollow on the inside) that is much quieter, but
also heavier and draggier. ?One can use the 4" wheel on the 6"
5,6,7,8" wheels for Scooters, power chairs, wheel chairs etc.?

I just did a Google search on Mountain board wheels and the possibilities for
you tail draggers are endless in pneumatic. Beautiful anodized aluminum wheels
as well. Maybe this will help...

While I am a fan of AS and Wicks. I think they both do a great job. However,
when buying anything "tailwheel" why would you not get it from the people that
make the tailwheel? Aviation Products is a great company and they make a great
product.
Maybe they even make one that is pneumatic? But

This morning I checked the 2012-2013 hard-copy version of the AS&S catalog,
and on page 27
I have tried wheels from wheel skates. Several times and from several
different manufacturers. On both grass and paved strips. ALL have failed
(disintegrated) abruptly within hours of use. On one occasion shearing one
of the mounting bolts holding the spring to the fuselage.

I think this might be the wheel that Dene is talking about.
