The ones Aeroworks sells on their 42% quick build is a good one.

I was in the same boat a few weeks ago. This is what I got

My builder said they could have copied RC Blimp, or visa versa, because they are identical. Good tail wheel.

I think I'll try the Aeroworks one next time. I like the CF versus the Ti-wire, and I like that this wheel is supported on each side of it, where as my Aicraft Int'l tailwheel has a wire for the wheel axles. The Aeroworks one looks to combine the best features of each design.
Thanks,
Jim W.

PRIZZY, thanks for that info! Those do look familiar! I have this version (Blimpo) on another plane I own and I love it. Guess I will be going this direction.

Thank you for all the input guys! Take care and happy flying!

I think you may find that they are actually R/C Blump
