Cermark Pitts tail wheel assembly
I recently started assembling a Cermark Pitts and noticed that the tail wheel assembly seems weak. I have not heard anyone mention problems with the stock unit, however, I would like to replace it with something more substantial. A tail wheel assembly that does not put direct shock loads on the rudder and looks scale would be preferred. Any suggestions?

I am using a Moki 1.35 spinning an 18x8 prop. I'm also running onboard glow.
Good luck with your Pitts,
Scott
