How much of a difference in length is there, anyhow, between a 35%er tailgear than a 30%er? Would seem to be negligible to me.

And I agree with tired- there really seems to be a lot more guys flying 30% or less than does 35-40%ers. As much as I want to build a 35%er (or bigger), transportation is an issue. having a handful of 30's I can take and fly is better than having a 35 that I can't leave the house with.
Goto our custom bend page and download the form and we will bend a titanium wire to your size specifications. It will weigh less and you could use a 1" - 1.25" wheel on our carriage. It should weigh about 2.5oz or less.

We will do the bend free of charge as a test case for 30% planes.

Sorry for the delay, I finally got off my ass and got you the measurements you needed. I sent you two .pdfs via email, let me know if you need any more information.

Thanks!

We finished up your tailwheel. It came out to be 1.9 oz. with a 1.25" Dubro wheel. We will send some pictures and ship it Monday.

Thanks

Just put one of these on my Extreme Flight 88" Yak. Used the stock carbon leaf. Haven't flown it yet, but should solve lots of problems I've experienced over the years with various setups.
