    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
    From: "Fun2av8" <iflyga@fun2av8.com>
    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, -------- Jim McWhorter N687MB (New Owner) Culpeper, VA KCJR Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=409449#409449

    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. Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=409453#409453

    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.

    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.
