Tail wheel for Super Rebel or Murphy Yukon

[Reid Huzzey]

I am looking at purchasing the Iron Design 3.5 X 10" wheel for my kit.
I did not get the Outback Tail kit, that I purchased from Murphy Aircraft in July 2007 for $563.00, so need to find a suitable replacement. I have researched the following providers which are more money, also because some are for certified aircraft.
XP Modification 500 X 5 for $1700.00
Alaskan Bushwheel ABI-3200 4 X 8" $1025.00
ABI-3400 $1550.00
Scott 3400 similar to above
Alaska Tundra 4X4 $750

Now the Iron Design seems to be a reasonably priced option at $656.00

My stinger is 1" in diameter and the mounting is the same as the Super Rebel, and maybe the Moose.
The Iron Design stinger mount is 3/4" diameter. I could get the 3" at the wheel mount end machined down to 3/4". The angle that the rod stinger goes into the tail wheel is normally manufactured at 15 degrees. Then the king pin should be vertical or slightly toe ahead at full gross weight.

Does anyone have experience with this tailwheel?
Any one know what the angle is on the Murphy designed tail wheels?
Advice is most appreciated, better alternatives or do you think this will work?
