The Murphy tailwheel comes with the kit - it has 2 side arms,
like the Scott, but is much less expensive. You may find you
have shimmy problems with the Maule - I did, and so have others !!
Not such a bargain then ...
If you do use the solid aluminum spring from MAM, you
might want to mill or grind it to taper from full thickness
at the top mounting, to about 1/2 thickness at the tailwheel,
to give a bit more flex. You could also narrow it at the back,
if you have to ....

I don't know what the Murphy tail wheel is. I do have a Maule tail wheel
that I took off my Kitfox years ago when I replaced it with a Scott 3200 -
a really good deal at the time.
The Maule (model # SFSA-1-4)uses a 1 1/4" spring.

It should actually be an inch and 3/4 (1.75") wide....unless something has
changed.

Hello Tom
The aluminium tail spring I have with kit (#747R) is 1-5/8" wide but for
the Murphy tail wheel. Hope can help

I've haven't had success contacting them lately.
Or, where can I get one if not Murphy?
