I did look at that tailwheel in the Aircraft Spruce catalog, and while it is not that cheap, it is much lower in cost than a new Scott. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bruce Green" Subject: Re: Pitts-List: Tailwheel > --> Pitts-List message posted by: Bruce Green > > On Tue, 20 Apr 2004 16:59:55 +0000 "Rick Caldwell" > writes: > > --> Pitts-List message posted by: "Rick Caldwell" > > > > > > Hello Wayne, > > > > I believe the brand is called Aviation Products for the tailwheel I > > have on > > my One Design.

I have built an RV-6. I keep looking at the Pitts style tailwheels and they do not seem as elegant as those on the RVs. Mine is a steel tapered rod, with a full swivel wheel and it works great (steerable and nonlocking). It has about the same profile as the Pitts locking tailwheel. Vans Aircraft will sell parts to all. Just a thought.

One guy mentioned it wasnt cheap, of course its not cheap,its for an airplane. Aviatin Products,Ojai,CA will sell direct, leave aircraft spruce out of it and save money. kevin
