The t-3 works great. Much less wear and tear on the airframe. You don’t realize how well it works until you put a stock spring back on.

Love mine on a PA-18. Makes a huge difference. Taxing on a rough runway the stick does not move. Awesome

If I remember right it was an inch higher at the tail handle from the small 3200 and tail spring to T-3 and baby bushwheel. I keep a 3200 on an old spring for quick change. I was pushing the cub out the other day and saw this
Can’t say what caused the crack but it is a Scott head, and I’ve put at least 1000 hrs off airport on it.

Field approvals. When you used to be able to get them. Dan is working on a bunch of stc’s and he is close.

Interesting, cause just an hour ago, I found something similar on my Scott tailwheel head. Mine's not as advanced in the crack, But, it's going to be replaced.
Shimmy event, maybe?

Now THAT is impressive! Had to come from some kind of side load. Shimmy like MTV says? Was it loose on the big mounting bolt?

No shimmy, I keep a close eye on the tightness of the bolt. Just took it off floats recently and didn’t notice the crack, at least the final bit all the way through must have happened quick

The tail does sit higher. I have a regular ABI tail wheel (3200 equivalent), not a Baby Bushwheel... I just put on bushwheels (29's) so that raised the nose back up!

I replaced a stock J-3 tailspring on my Rans S-7S with the T-3, and found I was able to dial down the spring (hard to explain, but there is an adjustment) and only gained 1/4" of height, if that, almost nil. I trashed an 8" Matco tailwheel this summer, while dragging a site looking for rocks (found one), and the almost brand new T-3 survived unharmed. The T-3 is right up there with bushwheels for giving a cush ride.
