It is a special US Standard Non-swivel tailwheel fork. Really, it is a non-swivel. I just have a lot of sag in my chains which allows it to turn 90 degrees to either side. It works out very well for me and allows for turning in tight areas even without brakes. Oh, no shimmies either. Come to the west coast Piet gathering next year and I will demonstrate it for you.

They can save you a significant amount of money over the years.

I had the one I use given to me by someone that had updated to the newer version. The 121.5 units don't really do much good. The guy in the hangar next door set his off accidently while doing some maintenance, and it went off for 5 days in his hangar before he was able to shut it off, and nobody except us hangar bums even checked on it.

The ELT installed in my Piet has the D batteries. Yes, big money saver, I learned.
