    I like the looks of the Matco dual fork tailwheel. Anyone using it yet?

    I went with the Alaska Bush 8" Tail Wheel, So I now have a very good Maule tail wheel I would be willing to sell for the right price I do prefer the Alaska over the Maule.

    Danny,
    I made an off-field landing with my SuperSport where I performed a max slip to touchdown. Dynon recorded data showed -800 fpm and about 45 degree difference between heading and GPS Track at touchdown. I was trying to make a Par 3 and stop before the Tee Box. I bent the cast AL fork and the gear axle. I think the guy at Matco was impressed that I could do that much damage and survive. I replaced both parts with little effort.
