Alaska
Tundra Tire Tail Wheels:
We manufacture
an extra wide Aluminum tail fork to fit Scott 3200 and 3400 tail
wheel “heads”. Our kit includes the bearing race and
bushing for easy installation. With the tail wheel kit is a spacer
to make your tail wheel wide enough to fill out the new fork and
includes the longer axle bolt and wheel half bolts, a 4,00x4 tire
and tube. This system gives a nice round tread tire with a wide
tread pattern on the ground for superior floatation and shock absorption
without being so heavy and tall that it puts undue loads on the
tail spring or stinger like the 500x5 system. Again our competition
makes a nice system that is very similar and in fact copies ours.
Their fork appears to be well built and they have a smooth tire.
From what we have seen it is a nice kit and STC approved but almost
twice the cost and has the significant disadvantage of being only
applicable to aircraft with 26” or larger main wheels. Our
tail wheel is not STC approved (yet) but is readily field approvable.
We can help with that too as we have an LDER on staff.
