Hi Ted: I've written an e.mail message directly to Wup. Alaskan Bushwheel is closed for the weekend but I'll catch him on Monday. Thanks for the support, regards, Eduardo

Eduardo,
I also recommend that you order directly from AK Bushwheel.
A couple of key points that you need to know:
- If you have the solid Murphy stinger, it is 1 1/16" which is of course
1/16" larger diameter than the hollow, original Murphy stinger
- The 2-bolt attach pattern on both the original Murphy hollow round stinger
and the newer solid stock round stinger are spaced 1 3/16"
center-to-center. The bolt pattern on the AK Bushwheel (and Scott and every
other assembly by all other manufacturers) is spaced at 1 1/4"
center-to-center.

Eduardo.. I would cancel your order with Spruce and buy it and the required
spacer DIRECTLY from Alaskan Bushwheel. The way you'll get proper customer
service if you have any issues with it, or have any questions when
ordering.
There are no better people in the aircraft parts world than Bill and Wup at
ABW.

Subject: RE: [rebel-builders] Moose tailwheel
only
doubt is whether the one inch "head spacer" p/n 06-01158 is suitable to
install in the Murphy tail spring which is a solid 1" round steel stock
(works very well), considering the tailwheel head is made to hold a flat
spring steel. I'm sort of confused with this issue, and if anyone could
give
me ideas who to look for advise, this would be great.
Bolivia, Brazil and Argentina have a wide array of landscape; thereæ„€
plenty
of dense jungle, high mountains and extensive uninhabited areas, so your
aircraft must be prepared for hot humid, high elevation and short dirt
airstrips, must be able to carry lots of fuel and be absolutely reliable.
Thanks for your welcoming words, regards, Eduardo

Hello Gentlemen (Ladies?): I'm new in this list; I've built a Moose and
I've
flown 298 hours till today; It's a great aircraft, tricky to land and the
factory support stinks, like they never cared what happens after they
sold
the aircraft kit, no response to e.mails and worse even, phone calls. The
tail wheel's mechanism is weak and I cannot get a decent response from
Chilliwack for a set of parts. I am thinking about adapting a Scott 3400
which I assume will be strong enough for the size of this aircraft. I fly
in
South America, mainly Bolivia, Argentina and Brazil. Any comments?

Hello Eduardo Welcome to the list. I hope you stick around and share your
expiriences building and flying in south America. I think the only day
you'll regret having a scott tailwheel is the day you have to pay for it.
They're pricy but worth it. Another choice might be a Matco wheel. I saw
some large heavy duty ones fron them at Oshkosh this year.
