Hi All,



I still have my original 10 y/o  tailwheel on my Europa. Its starting to get a bit worn and hard after 1100 hours so I thought it was getting time to replace it.

 I ordered a tailwheel for an RV from AC Spruce but when it arrived I discovered that the tread width is 1.5" and the one on my airplane is 2".

I have been searching around for something that is 6 x 2 " and I found that Colson casters make one.  It is a 400 lb rating and roller bearings.  I am using 4" Colson casters for my out riggers and they seem to hold up to the landing speeds.

 



I was wondering what others have dome for replacement tail wheels, and has anyone tried Colson as a tail wheel.

BTW, the AC Spruce wheel cost $125, the Colson wheel cost $11.50 !

 



Thanks- Paul
