Re: TITANIUM TAIL WHEEL
He is currently out of business. I tried to track one down for my project but they are all sold out. I would give a look at one of these instead.

Re: TITANIUM TAIL WHEEL
Ohio Super Star Tailwheels are good. I love them!
Tower Hobbies sells them at a good price. Hope this helps.

Re: TITANIUM TAIL WHEEL
If Vern can get one of those adapted to a Haigh style spring then he'll have the big Comp Arf Yak market cornered. The end of RC Blimp will be putting a world of hurt for those airframes with a tail wheel fit.

Re: TITANIUM TAIL WHEEL
I Just sold two that I had two weeks ago.
Have you tried Air Wild Pilot Shop? They still have them listed on their website so may have some stock left. Try TNT as well he may have some stock left.

Re: TITANIUM TAIL WHEEL
I have a brand new Titanium RC Blimps tail wheel. I purchased it last year for a project that never materialized. It is brand new still in the bag. Make me a reasonable offer...and someone can own it. It is for a 35% er...or large up to 30 pounds.

Re: TITANIUM TAIL WHEEL
Truth is Cristian is not telling the full story here. The boat arrived in Chile yesterday with three 40% compsite-ARF´s. Kinda nice to add to the population and I think it now takes the fleet in the club to some 6 planes. Cristian, you unpacked yours and had a look at it. Look what Santa delivered in my box. |
