Re: 30% Tailwheel
I use the R/C blimp tailwheel on my 30%, I am using the large size because the yak is a little porky for a 30%. TBM also sells them, on the same page previously posted.

Re: 30% Tailwheel
Go for the titanium rc blimp tailwheel. I have used the carbon fibre tailwheels but the wire that they use brakes after a bit of abuse.

Re: 30% Tailwheel
Yep, go with the rcblimp tailwheels, the 2 pete model ones I have had have failed just by setting the tail down on the ground.

Re: 30% Tailwheel
I just put this one on a AM 30% Extra 260. It rocks. The weight is only 1.4 oz.

Re: 30% Tailwheel
Hey Shawn!
Will your Carbon Pro for 35% work on the "NEW" Comp ARF 2.6m Extra 300sx? I am mainly concerned about the hieght on the rear. Thanks, Perry |

Re: 30% Tailwheel
Perry, I think it is going to be too high in the rear. the tailwheel that is supposed to be included with the kit is one of my standard large titanium units. I beleive the holdup on getting the cuffs, tailwheel and spinner is the spinner backplates. Once the backplates show up at Comp ARF then they are to ship out all 3 items at the same time. Check with your Comp ARF rep to be sure.
