Default H/9 T/craft Tail Wheel

Jerry,

Get the Klett 1/4 scale (largest one they make) for your plane. The .60 size will sag and bend upward under the load of the T-Craft in warm weather. I have used both on my T-Craft and the 1/4 scale works much better. You can get these from Horizon Hobbies or Tower Hobbies, just to name a few.

Another very good tailgear is the Ohio Superstar unit for planes in the 16 lb. category. It is a flat spring steel unit which is very robust and looks good on planes of the T-Craft type. I have been using one of these on a 1/4 scale cub with excellent results. Horizon has these as well as Central Hobbies and others.

Good luck and have fun with your project!

Sam
