All my flying is in nosewheel airplanes so I know nothing about the
workings of tailwheels and this isn't a question about differences
between nosewheel and tailwheel. The airplane I'm building is a
tailwheel airplane (Bushcaddy R-120) and I've no trepidation about
mastering a tailwheel plane. I'm starting my endorsement training
very soon and I'm sure that if I practise enough, pay attention and
maintain my focus that I'll do just fine with it.
I've been looking at various tailwheels. My kit came with an 8"
Matco pneumatic tailwheel and costs about $220 by itself. I've heard
people talk about Scott tailwheels and looked at the Scott 3200, which
I guess is the somewhat equivalent size to the one I've. The cost
however of the Scott tailwheel is $2000. This blows my mind. They
both look very similar. What could possibly make that Scott tailwheel
so expensive?
Thanks. Don...
