It appears to have a vertical pilot hole which I must use to drill a new vertical hole through the tailspring onto which it mounts. 1. Are there any tricks/suggestions for drilling this hole? 2. Can this be easily and accurately done with the tailspring still installed on the airplane? 3. Is the one vertical hole adequate or should I try to match up the two horizontal holes which Vans has in their tailspring and drill them too? I understand many of you have installed this upgrade tail wheel and I would appreciate hearing of your experience. Further, the new tail wheel weighs 5 pounds (bathroom scale). I haven't removed my Van's tail wheel yet, but suspect the new one is heavier and will change my CG. Any thoughts? Pete SNIP************************ Peter, Before you drill any new holes for a new tailwheel, please take a look at mine. It will retrofit into a Van's socket in 5 minutes with no drilling whatsoever. A direct replacement. It weighs virtually the same as the Van's unit, within 1/2 ounce by my scale. My tailwheels have better clearance than the Van's, better handling, and a smaller frontal area than other units. You can even install a wheelpant on mine (see the website) and it will still full swivel as designed. My product was originally designed to meet the needs of the F1 and HRII Rockets. It works equally well on the RV brethren. Over 90 of mine are out there now and I have them IN STOCK for quick delivery.

I added the standard heat shield and as shipped, the heat shield just touched the cable. I squashed the mounting ear of the heat shield to make its profile lower and there was then a slight gap between the shield and the un-fire sleeved cable. I then added fire sleeve which just touched the shield. After about 125 hrs, absolutely no problem. There is no visual indication on the fire sleeve that it is getting too hot. I've not taken the fire sleeve off to see what the green cable sheath looks like but, there is no throttle binding at all. Greg Puckett Elizabeth, CO RV-8 N881GP Does anyone have a rule of thumb for min distance between the following: 1. Control cable unprotected to bare exhaust pipe 2. Control cable firesleeved to bare exhaust 3. Control cable firesleeved to aluminum heat shield stand-off I guess I'd like to know if (3) could actually come in contact with the heat shield and if I'd still be ok Thanks!

I will pay what ever you think fair for materials and shipping.

Seems I'm always taking my Van's tailwheel apart for cleaning. After it gets dirt & dust on it after a while, it doesn't hold in the straight ahead position. Is there a zirk fitting for lubing it? Where would I get a wheel pant for it? How many hours should I get out of a stock tailwheel tire with "novice style landing/bounces"?
