Default Carl Goldberg?

As I recall, Carl Goldberg was selling Klett tailwheels, but that may
not be current. Check your private messages for another option.

Default Great Planes

Hey I just picked up a Great Planes tail wheel set up that is really nice. The tailwheel bracket is AL that has been sandblasted and left that way. Gives it a very nice finish. It comes with a 1" tire and springs to give it movement. Cost me $12.00 at the LHS.

Default Tailwheels

You might want to check out the new T.W.
from SIG. They are brushed al with a very
attractive wheel bracket assy. They come
in small, med and large (1/4 scale). If you
have seen a Sig Rascal A.R.F. you have
seen the small tail wheel. The part no's
and prices are; Small #SIGSH756--$16.99
Med #SIGSH757--$19.99
Large #SIGSH758--$23.99. bing 222

Oh no :cry:

Say it ain't so...I just checked the Goldberg website, they don't list the Klett tailwheels anymore.

I wonder if they will be distributed by someone else now. I sure hope so, they are the best.

I had a 1/4 scale Klett on my DP Extra. Only lasted about 15 flights then the arm broke. Just not strong enough. By the way, got it a month ago form Chief Aircraft. I went carbon fiber and like it much better. Also went carbon fiber on the landing gear. What an improvement! Makes every landing look like you are a pro. Takes all the bounce out.

Default Try the new SIG tailwheel

I like the new SIG tailwheel assemblies, they are nice. The Goldberg-Klett looked a little more scale than the SIG...Brian

Klett is out of business.

http://www.jrhobbyhardware.com/ makes the same assembly in two sizes.

The new Dubro tail wheels look identical to the Kletts.
