    Subject: Rocket Tail wheel - what to use?
    From: Jay McIntyre <cjaviator@gmail.com>
    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 New Zealand

    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.
