I buy them at the hobby shop in Kalispell MT. I would think any hobby shop would have them. Just looked through tower and they don't list them. Strange. PM me if you can't find them and I will see if I still have one in a drawer. I am going to Kalispell next weekend too. I could get you one.

Default Golberg/Klett Tail Wheels ? Where 2 buy?

Been wondering about these myself. I have one but would like some more and in different sizes.

Who is the manufacturer for Klett tailwheels? I thought they were associated with Goldberg. I looked on Sheldon's website just now (on their list of aircraft manufacturers) and they don't list "Klett" or "Goldberg".

Thanks

I have the last of them......I will sell for one Zillion dollars......LOL.
Call Sheldons when they open. As for Klett, they are made by Klett Plastics, 5117 Vicery Loop E., Ft Worth ,Texas, 76116
At least that is what it says on the package.

I thought they might be associated with Goldberg because, somewhere, I think I've got some old Goldberg nylon hinges that have the word "Klett" molded into them (at least they were packaged by Goldberg - maybe they were buying them in bulk from Klett to package in smaller sizes???)

My hobby shop still have some hanging on the wall. I guess I run over and get them. I use one on my Lanier CAP232 and I should say they are the best.

Default Guys, I have found them At The Factory

Well, after some hard work, not really... Just calling Klett direct I have got two of them on the way..

Klett, who was supposed to be bought and gone, is alive and well, I called them and a nice lady answered the phone and said they have everything in stock, so if you want anything they make call them direct. I will include thier contact info below. Thier prices are MUCH better than hobby shop's (obviously) and well worth the contacting directly.

*.60 size Tail Wheel Assembly: $16.99
* 1/4 Scale size Tail Wheel Assembly: $19.00

Contact Info:

Klett Plastics Co.
5117 Vickery Loop East
Fort Worth, TX 76116

Tel: 817.731.3153


Cheers to all,

Default Klett Tail wheels

I recently purchased a bunch of hinges from Klett in Ft. Worth,TX and when they sent me the hinges they also included a list of items that are available from them
They have both sizes of tailwheels at the price you would pay at any Hobby shop
Their address has been given in an earlier reply,but the tailwheels are readily available
I called and 2 days later I had my hinges. Try it.
