KR> Tail wheel assembly

[Jeff Scott]

I wouldn't call it wasted effort. ?FWIW, I agree that one should use the sealed 
bearings. ?The point I was trying to make was that your web page read like you 
seemed to think Aircraft Spruce was doing something with malicious intent. ?I 
don't believe that to be the case. ?But your point that if one buys the 
replacement wheel from Aircraft Spruce or Wicks, you also need to buy the 
better bearing is spot on.

KR> Tail wheel assembly

[Jeff Scott]

The distance between the tailwheel axle and the steering yoke won't allow for a 
larger tailwheel. ?If you bought the 6" model of the same tailwheel, then you 
have a semi-pneumatic tire (hollow on the inside) that is much quieter, but 
also heavier and draggier. ?One can use the 4" wheel on the 6" frame by 
shimming outside of the bearings, which is what I did when I tested with the 4" 
tailwheel.

[danrh at windstream.net]

While I am a fan of AS and Wicks.  I think they both do a great job.  However, 
when buying anything "tailwheel" why would you not get it from the people that 
make the tailwheel?  Aviation Products is a great company and they make a great 
product.

Maybe they even make one that is pneumatic?  But for the money, I can live with 
my hard wheel.

This morning I checked the 2012-2013 hard-copy version of the AS&S catalog, 
and on page 276, under the heading of "Replacement Wheels for Homebuilder's 
Special Tailwheels", they list both 4" and 6" "replacement wheels with tires

2009 and 2010 from AS&S.  Underneath these tailwheels is the heading 
"Longlife Sealed Ball Bearings", which are now up to $9.75, with the 
description "These high quality bearings are superior to standard bearings 
furnished with homebuilder tailwheels", which says something about the 
replacement tailwheels they sell.  You be the judge.

Given that I can't prove something said three years ago on the phone, I've 
removed the sentence "I also learned that Aircraft Spruce orders the

"as their replacement" to the sentence "Although I didn't hear it from 
Aviation Products, one must assume that AS&S substitutes the less expensive 
R&K caster with the ungreased and unprotected bearings as their replacement 
wheels and saves a few bucks."

Other than those two edits to clarify things, I stand behind every word in 
that web page, and still think it's important that folks use a 
greased-bearing replacement wheel in their Aircraft Products tailwheels, 
like they came from the manufacturer.  I spent the time to do the research

I have tried wheels from wheel skates. Several times and from several 
different manufacturers. On both grass and paved strips. ALL have failed 
(disintegrated) abruptly within hours of use. On one occasion shearing one 
of the mounting bolts holding the spring to the fuselage.

Hi Ya Phil

Try the end of a Holden spring and a castering supermarket wheel.just
joking

.. but I did use the end of a small lower car spring leaf..the RR
supplied  plate was totally under strength, bent upwards over a short period
and cracked around the bolt hole.

I got custom mount welded by an aviation certified welder in Ballina. Very
reasonable price.

I don't have any photos of the cable attach inside the fuselage but 
the two photos below show the exterior.  Click the photo to enlarge 
for a better view, especially the second one.

I tied the two cables together inside the fuselage for better 
geometry and have them each exiting through their own cable 
guide.  That keeps the tailwheel cable from putting a side load on 
the rudder cable.  I pull my tailwheel cables tight just to the point 
before pulling slack in the rudder cable from the attach point to the 
rudder.  Some builders like a bit of slack in the tailwheel cable but 
my setup gives me very responsive handling when I taxi and takeoff 
and landing with the tailwheel on the ground.  I think the springs 
help with side loads on the tailwheel in keeping some of the strain 
off the rudder cables.  Just my opinion.  My rudder peddles are 
lightly spring loaded to the firewall to keep the peddles centered 
and the rudder cables taught.

So, is there a softer tire I can get for this assembly?  That little 
wheel sounds like a siren on a grooved runway like Mt.Vernon. :-)

The statement Jeff is talking about is the following paragraph.
I wrote: "So I called Aviation Products and asked what kind of bearing they 
put in their tailwheels and was told "heavy duty sealed bearings, greased 
for life is the only way we sell them...why wouldn't you use the best?" I 
also learned that Aircraft Spruce orders the assembly from Aviation Products 
MINUS the wheel for some reason! Although I didn't hear it from Aviation 
Products, one must assume that AS&S substitutes the less expensive R&K 
caster with the ungreased and unprotected bearings and saves a few bucks. 
And after your ungreased bearings rapidly wear out, you'll either buy a new 
tailwheel (with no grease), or if you're really enterprising, you'll put new 
bearings in it."

Back when I wrote this, I got my information from the lady that owns 
Aviation Products.  To make sure I wasn't crazy, I just spoke to her a few 
minutes by phone ago to check my facts.  She verified Jeff's statement that 
she only sells the assembly to both Wicks and AS&S WITH sealed bearings.  I 
would have sworn that I heard something to the contrary when I spoke to her 
about 2-3 years ago, but I'll admit it is possible that it was a 
miscommunication on my part.  I'd be amazed if that were the case, but it's 
possible.

Jeff also wrote:

>"Aviation products replaces the crappy bearing with a good bearing before 
>they sell it. Aircraft Spruce and Wicks sell the good bearing separately."<

I would have to challenge this with what Karen told me a few minutes ago, as 
well as back when I wrote the rant.  Aviation Products builds or at least 
assembles those tailwheel units essentially in house (she was bending tubing 
when I called her).  She installs only wheels that  have fully sealed and 
lubricated bearings, direct from  R&K Industrial Wheels.  She doesn't bother 
buying them without grease, because it makes no sense at all to do so. 
Also, having driven several of the bearings out of the wheel (which resulted 
in my rant), I'm pretty sure that the bearing is either useless or 
short-lived after it's driven out, so reselling it wouldn't work.  I never 
implied that anybody was removing sealed/greased bearings and replacing them 
with ungreased bearings, or the other way around...only substituting 
greaseless-bearing wheels for an application that clearly demands 
greased-bearing wheels.   Buy the correct greased-bearing wheel first and 
you're done.

One thing's for sure...selling a REPLACEMENT wheel that has no grease in it 
nor a plausible way to grease it doesn't make a bit of sense.  If anybody 
doubts this, please buy one and see for yourself.  And you are definitely 
correct Jeff, when you say "That simply doesn't make any business sense".

Jeff also wrote:

"Aircraft Spruce and Wicks sell the good bearing separately. It's actually a 
pretty common bearing that I found on the shelf at my local hardware store."

I just checked both Spruce and Wicks websites, but could no longer find a 
distinction between the bearing without grease and the "heavy duty" bearing 
that actually has grease, although the photos on the Wicks site look just 
like the ones a bought from AS&S that didn't have grease in them, and they 
even say in the description "tailwheels do not have grease zerks."I'm 
not sure why they'd mention that, this could mean they are greased but not 
sealed, which would likely work fine for our use.  I did call R&K Wheel back 
at the time of the rant to ask if they sold a version of that wheel without 
grease in it, and if so, how would one grease the bearing without damaging 
the wheel.  They do sell a dry version, and the answer was "you can't" 
lubricate it.  Like Jeff, I bought greased and sealed bearings from 
elsewhere (McMaster Carr in my case),

As a sanity check, anyone having a tailwheel (by itself) that is not yet 
installed that looks like the one at 
http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/lgpages/sonexwheel4.php or
http://aircraftproducts.wicksaircraft.com/item/all-categories/4-tailwheel/twnp-4?&plpver=10&origin=keyword&filter=&by=prod
 , 
please give it a shake and see if it rattles.  If it does, I'd be looking 
for a new tailwheel with a sealed bearing.  Please let me know if you find 
one of these, or evidence that you can or cannot find a wheel that is not 
greased available from either house.  I will amend the website based on my 
findings. My advice in the meantime would be to buy it direct from Aviation 
Products at http://www.apitailwheels.com/ to ensure it's a sealed and 
greased bearing.

Years ago I found a pneumatic tire which works excellent as a tail wheel. 
Pete Brautigam installed it on his KR and loves it. The best thing about it 
is that it is quiet and smooth over cracks. The tire wheel assembly is used 
on dirt downhill skateboards. The diameter is 6 inched if I remember 
correctly. I found them at a store called "Wheel and Sprocket. I never 
understood why more folks did not convert to the pneumatic wheel. Back then 
the tire and rim was about $20.

[Jeff Scott]

The part number is [Part # 06-00401] at Aircraft Spruce. ?Wicks also carries 
the same unit. ?Mine is the 6" model of the same unit. ?I tried both on my KR 
and went back to the semi-pneumatic 6" version. ?The 6" tailwheel is a bit more 
drag, but much quieter when taxiing over cracks and expansion joints in the 
pavement. ?Additionally, because of the altitude where I'm based, my ground 
speeds are significantly higher during take off and landing, so I chose to stay 
with the 6" wheel. ?But as I said, there are many fine tailwheels out there and 
we all have our preferences for various reasons.

FWIW, Marks rant about Aircraft Spruce and tailwheel bearings on the web page 
you referenced ?<http://www.n56ml.com/kgear.html> is a bit unfair and has some 
statements that are... mis-informed. ?I didn't see any reason to challenge it 
at the time since I figured he was blowing off steam. ?But I'd hate to see that 
referenced as fact when the statements made on that page just aren't so. ?

When you buy the tailwheel assembly, whether from Aviation Products or through 
Aircraft Spruce or Wicks, it has the bearings that were installed by Aviation 
Products. ?When you buy a replacement wheel from Aircraft Spruce or Wicks, it 
comes with the bearing that was installed in the wheel. ?Obviously, Aircraft 
Spruce and Wicks are buying them from the same place as Aviation products. 
?Aviation products replaces the crappy bearing with a good bearing before they 
sell it. ?Aircraft Spruce and Wicks sell the good bearing separately. ?It's 
actually a pretty common bearing that I found on the shelf at my local hardware 
store. ?Even the crappy bearing will hold up for a long time if you grease it. 
?At any rate, I don't see any malicious intent on the part of Aircraft Spruce. 
?Perhaps some ignorance on the part of their parts buyers, but no malicious 
intent. ?And they certainly aren't removing bearings and replacing them with 
substandard bearings as suggested on Mark'she web page, then selling the 
originals back as an upgrade. ?That simply doesn't make any business sense 
considering how inexpensive they are. ?I've dealt with Jim Irwin and Aircraft 
Spruce for over 30 years now. ?While I sometimes see mistakes made by their 
buyers, I have never seen anything that I would consider to be malicous intent.
