[rebel-builders] Best Tailwheel ?

What is the link for this tail wheel design. My Murphy wheel really sinks
in when the ground is soft.

Others have pointed out the link. I should add that mine was so cheap
because I was able to find some scrap steel and I'm using one of the
nosewheels off my floats for the rim and tire. The drawings were $25 and
are well worth it just to see how it's made.

Do you have access to a lathe? I built a tailwheel from plans by Bob
Barrows for under $50. Ken reported recently that his Matco wheel is
working well or I can sell my old murphy wheel cheap.
