Hay TeamMuir1,
I just got my T.F. F6F too. I purchased a EME 60 cc gas engine, w/electric start and Sierra pnuematic gear. Darrall told me his large size tail wheel assy. does really work well for the F6F and told me that Robart's T.F. F6F tail wheel assy. is a drop in fit. So I bought the Robart F6F tail gear from him. I am going to look at repainting my airframe, to the U.S.S. Bunker hill colors (Just like my ESM F6F was painted-be for I lost it).

Sierra gear was a little more expensive then the Robart gear...but it is built for an airframe a good 20 lbs heaver. Nearly twice as robust as needed. This is why I love his gear...you can literally rip it out of the wing...and it will still work.


I also received two scale wheels for the main landing gear. I do need to buy a tail wheel tire for it, but I have all the rest I need, in house.

Soft Landings Always,
Bobby of Maui
