Aeroworks just received a new batch of their tailwheels.
I've been using this on my 42lb SuperXtra with no problems.
I have 3 more on the way.

Other guys were saying those carbon pros were breaking. I have the titanium one on my 33% SD Yak. Just go up a size because they do flex and will hit the rudder.

I drilled out a larger diameter dowel (I think it was 5/8") to fit the tailwheel wire, then installed the dowel into the tailwheel mounting plate on the fuse. After the glue was dry I clamped the tailwheel into place and had no problems with it twisting.
