J-3 Front struts are bigger than the rear struts, but they also have lugs
for the aileron cable fairleads welded in place. I was fortunate to find
two sets of Cub struts. I used the 4 front struts for my Pietenpol (after
grinding off those lugs) and sold the rear ones to Rick Holland for use on
his Pietenpol.

Subject: | Scott or Maule tail Wheel |
I've searched the forum and found bits and pieces of info on using a Scott tail
wheel (Post by Jack Textor) with leaf springs a while ago.
Is anyone actually using either of these tail wheels on their Piets?
For those of you who are experts on Piets ... is there a solid reason why one would
not want to use either of these tail wheels?
Looking for pictures of the installation if you have done this mod.
many thanks,

Another frugal route is to hunt down some old Pacer/Colt struts that were r

ese struts are the subject of a recurring AD, where they need to be punch t

Jim, Zeke here...my bird at Flying Circus today....my GN-1 has weird setup. Use
the Piet V bar & coil, a short 2-piece leaf and Scott wheel. Steers great, unlocks,
however, the criss-cross cables through phenolic pulleys from rudder horn
I DON'T like. I will send a pic.

I've got a Matco with leafs... is that similar? I'm about to mount it on a rebuilt
tail post, so could get some good pics of the whole installation if it is
the same.
It's a great tailwheel, works perfectly and is very use friendly.
Let me know.

They work, and they are cheap. Mine were given to me, and the front
struts didn't even need to be shortened. They even already came with
the lower forks. I just shortened the rear strut to the required length
so that it looks just like the front strut. They were so full of oil,
that the welding got exciting a few times, and they are a little beefier
than needed.

Subject: | looking for Larry Williams |
Hi everyone , the new guy here... I am so enjoying reading all the posts and im
getting smarter every minute. I have been searching for builders in my area
"Arkansas", and found Larry Williams in Lonoke Arkansas , which is only Hour or
so away. I cant find any e-mail or phone for him , but would love to make contact,
any help would be appreciated. I did get an email from Jim Markle from
Eastern Oklahoma that I really appreciated, He said there was another builder
there close to him and I hope to get to visit with them sometime. Just trying
to gather all the info I can before I start glueing wood together. I think
I will have to put some parts together soon , or Im gonna blow a gasket.
