It has the single brake pedal for both wheels. The tail wheel swivels easily with the tail in the air. I think it is the OEM tailwheel. Do you think I will have any trouble turning around on a 50 foot wide grass runway?

Thanks Bob >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> on my mkiii it was a tight fit on the 35 ft taxi way. with differential brakes it was easier. one of the best things I did was the full pivoting tail wheel. with your set up, how hard would it be to add the second break pedal? boyd young ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 09:50:51 AM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Re: Need Help Identifing From: "Dennis Thate" Unrelated but an Interesting photo I'll just throw this photo in for the fun of it.
