Sweet! HANGAR 9 TAILWHEEL UPGRADE cheap.

Goes directly on your Sukhoi or 35% extra (or whatever carbon leaf spring you have with simple adjustment).

If you've flown enough with your sukhoi or extra you've probably had the wire tail wheel snap off at the threads. I've done this 3 times and had enough so I came up with a tail wheel that is super light and kicks butt. Weighs 1.6 oz total with the carbon bracket, wheel/tire etc.

I'm only making the wheel assembly - you'd use your existing carbon tail wheel bracket. 1.75" dubro Tire and all hardware are included. $30 with free shipping in the USA.

I've made a minor modification to the steering arm attachment. There are a few dozen of these out there now. I'm sure you won't find a more effective, light, and affordable upgrade for your H9 or other tailgear.

Please, indicate with payment that you're using it on the original hangar 9 tail wheel bracket from the Sukhoi or the 35% extra and I'll cut the pivot axle bolt to length. It installs in seconds. You can pay pal to john@eellspdx.com $30 and I'll get your new tail wheel right out. Thanks, John

It's very simple, if you already have the H9 bracket for the sukhoi or the 25% extra this just replaces the wire wheel carriage with my machined one. all you have to do is put a bolt through your carbon fiber bracket and put a nut on top. If you have another variety of carbon fiber spring you may need to shim it out a little or cut the pivot axle bolt to a different length - it's really easy.
