Tail dragger wheel size
 
I changing 2 of my planes to the Sullivan tail dragger setup.
What size wheel is usually placed on the back?
The kit doesn't come with a wheel so i'm lost in that area.
Any suggestions?

A 1" wheel is pretty mutch the standard. That is what I run on my Sig SE's all the way up to my 33% Extra.

How does it balances??
if is tail heavy go to the smallest 1/2 wheel, if is nose heavy place 1 in.
I always have 1/2´´ , 3/4, 1, etc.., also diffrent brands weight different.
just my tip.

The CG balance is just a bit tail heavy but not enough to make the tail drop down and hit the table.
I'm also going to be adding a battery so i'll be placing that closer to the nose.
The 1" sounds good to me because the plane is 7.5 pounds dry.
Thanks for the post. :)
