Subject: | Rocket Tail wheel - what to use? |
Hi all,
The Harmon Rocket I look after has bent the tail wheel fork and we are
wondering what to replace it with as we cannot positively ID what model and
P/N the darned thing is. I am not prepared to take a guess and have a new
fork shipped out at great cost only to be wrong so replacement with a good
proven, strong one of known P/N might be the best way forward.
The aircraft has a RV4 tail wheel stinger fitted and the owner would like
as big a wheel as possible for rough strip operations (although I must
admit I am concerned to large a diameter might cause more rudder strikes
with associated damage!)
Any recommendations out there on what we should use?
All thoughts gratefully and graciously considered!
Regards, Jay

Jay,
Visit Flyboy Accessories (http://www.flyboyaccessories.com). Theyve got a good selection and lots of extra parts that should fit the Rocket with no problems. They carry great tailwheels too. Works well on my F1 Rocket.
