I'm sure someone's asked this before, but where can I get a couple of spare tail wheel tyres, and wheel as well? Anyone know how much they cost?

When she got in she sort of flowed ( overflowed ) into position. It was not a weight problem just size. The flight went well and was quite pleasent and I do recall saying I was just adjusting the trim and not playing with her leg. The approach and landing went well until the final flair when the nose shot up and the canopy filled with sky. Immediate application of power brought the nose over and I was able to land nearly normally. I could not understand what had gone wrong untill the lady got out and I saw that the trim was in the rearmost position. Her thigh had held the trim lever out of the rack and when I flared it flew back causing heavy load on the control column, something I had not anticipated. If it was to happen again I would know to apply more pressure on the stick. Another lesson learnt. Regards, John.
