I am curious on the tailwheel size most kr2's are using . mine is very small 3" and gets hung up on the slightest crack , worst in grass ect . I want to go to an air tire approx 6'' . This will also give me a little visibilty infront of the craft . I,ve flown some taildraggers where you can actually see over the nose ,and I thought a little sight and better capability in grass would be nice . Also if anyone can tell me how to post my kr and pics ,info on the kr site ..

Thanks Kevin +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Kevin, I searched in vain for months for a 6" pneumatic tailwheel and found nothing. I have a Matco 6" solid tailwheel that works well but wanted to trim 2 pounds off the tail and ordered a 4" solid tire, steerable, full swivel unit from Aviation Products Inc (805) 646-6042 114 Bryant St Ojai CA 93023 It is their lightweight single fork unit. The overall quality seems good but I am a bit disappointed in their bearings. The first time I tried it it seemed noisy. It seemed that one bearing was a bit rough. I sent the wheel back and they replaced the bearings. I put the unit back on the KR yesterday but have not had a chance to fly it. From my searchings I'd say that is about as close as you'll come to what you are looking for and keep the weight down.
