    Default Lighter tail wheel

    I have a 6" Maule, solid rubber, tailwheel assembly part number tw-101 or SFSA 1-4.

    Is there a lighter weight assembly or maybe a pneumatic tire for this 6" set-up?

    I'd rather lighten up my rear end than add ballast to the front end. CG is OK but just ok. Would like to bring it a bit further forward.

    Thx,
    Jon

    I had the Maule on my Model 4. Like you I needed a lighter replacement. This is the one I have and I love it. http://www.matcomfg.com/TAILWHEEL8PN...v-3750-13.html
