I was in a rush this morning when I posted the pictures of my SSE with the Sullivan tailwheel, but had wanted to add to that. I prefer the Sullivan tailwheels over the Dubro simply because of the spring on it. With the Dubro, or any other wheel assembly, that is is mounted directly into the wood of the rudder you risk damaging the rudder when on the ground. A good jolt or turning hard can damage the wood that the tiller rod is mounted in. With the Sullivan the wheel is connected to the rudder through a spring. This isolates the wood of the rudder from being damaged. I started using these because our old runway as a bit short, so when we touched down I had to start using the tailwheel and turn the plane from side to side to bleed off speed. If I touched down long it meant that at times I had to really lean on the rudder to get the plane stopped. More than once I had rudders damaged because the wheel was directly connected to the rudder. When I switched to Sullivan wheels that all went away!!
