Subject: [rebel-builders] Alternative Tail wheel to Scott's 3400


I came across an alternative to the Scott's 3400 tailwheel at a much reduced
cost. The 3400 equivalent with wheel & tire assembly is only $US605, plus
shipping cost to Sydney Australia, at $US28 & a merchant credit card fee of
3%, say $US652 as against a Scott's from Aircraft Spruce of $US1390 ex US,
plus, plus. So I have order one for my Elite. The address for those who are
interested is www.irindesign-airparts.com

Hello Keith.
Sorry for the wrong address; it should be www.irondesign-airparts.com.
Just passed my aviation medical exam, this morning, for another two years, so it can't be my eye sight!!!

G'day Greg

I guess that I was lucky. I did a bit of internet searching and bought a
used Scott 3200 from a man in South Africa.

It was really unmarked and still had the moulding tits on the tyre (tire).
The best bit was that it was only US $400.
Bargains are out there!

The wheel that you have chosen seems quite substantial and well made.

regards


Ian

Hi Greg !

I'm guessing you meant Scott < 3200 > - kept trying until I found
the url: www.irondesign-airparts.com

Looks pretty sturdy - always good to have an alternative. Really,
though, aside from the kick-out mechanism, very similar to the large Elite
tailwheel option from Murphy - and more expensive ! (That is - the
small Moose tailwheel.) :-)

Hello Bob,
Thanks for your advice; always appreciated. The price fom Murphy may vary??? I will check it out again. I have passed Ralph Baker's concerns to Scott at Iron Designs for his comments. I will post them here when he replies.
BTW, Rick Harper & I would like to know WHEN you are going to come to sunny Sydney???. Remember your beautiful wet, cold & snow winter is approaching!!!!!

Kind regards,
Greg. Gordon
Elite 724.
