First 12 I owned had the hard rubber Maule style tail wheel. Most trouble free and shimmy free of any I’ve had. May want to consider keeping that setup if your mission allows it

I have an extra set of original style gear that came with some tires and brakes I needed at the time. They appear to be in very good shape, I could take some pics if you are interested.

Jake, I'll take your 8.50 training wheels off your hands when you are done training.

Sorry Skywagon, I didn't notice the 4. Mine are 8.50-6 from a previous conversion.

I know VG benefits have been largely discussed, but I need some opinions on a specific question. I fly a stock PA12 with 115hp engine and TrickAir skis (love em)in Minnesota. The "approved" budget...
