Thanks for the kind compliments guys, it means a lot to us that everyone is happy with our products. We started this just to make a couple of tailwheels for ourselves, and to try and solve every problem we ever had with a tailwheel. We have been through several iterations to get to where we are now, and have incorporated several ideas from our customers. We intend to be around and make these products as long as people want to buy them, maybe at some point they will provide enough money to support my R/C habit. |

I have never been a fan of the wire tail wheel and have had limited luck with the carbon because it delaminates. The wheel portion and the carbon leaf componet is more to my taste and I believe I saw these at Joe Nall this year but not sure of the manufacture. This really looks trick and look foward to seeing whats in store.

We had a booth setup at Joe Nall, so you may have talked with us there. We were down at the end next to Smart-Fly. We ultimately decided to go with a titanium wire setup because they are more durable, as well as, we like the way they look. I have had carbon setups from some of the other makers and ultimately either they delaminated or the wheel carriage itself gave way to fatigue. | ||||||||||||||||||

Guys these things are great!!! I have had two of these tail wheels now and i love them, you can even control the plane on the ground with these things. LOL I am flying off of a 400ft long paved run way, with 40% planes and i have no run off at all, so if i'm hot coming in then i'm up the creek, but now with my J&J tail wheel i can swerve back and Fourth with control and turn around at the end of the run way with out going off I'm just saying you wont go wrong with this tail wheel!!!!!!!!!

Hi John, Just like to say that your product is an awesome innovation. By the way, it looks like it has allot of common sense Adi

Well Bryan, its about time :-) John, i edit my reply since it had some grammar mistakes. Again, this is a very innovative feature that has allot of common sense, people wont look at tail wheels the same way they did, ever again. Best of luck Budd. Adi

I just bought two of the J&J tailwheels. I meant to do that soon after looking at the size and bulk of the White Rose units in Toledo. I guess it just takes me a little time to get around to things. Now if J&J was to downsize their product just enough to cover the 28% size class they would have a solid lock on the premiun tailwheel markt.
