Looking for recommendations on tailwheel assemblies for my supercub project. I purchased the Acme Stinger tail suspension. I currently have the Scott/ABW 3200 baby Bushwheel on my Maule. I’m getting irritated with that because the thrust plate has three pins that are press fit. The pins fall out of the plate. I’ve tried a number of fixes but nothing lasts. I called Airframes AK and was told it was a common problem which they were not inclined to fix because it would require FAA approval. The part is $76 and only seems to last 50 to 100 hours.
I’m experimental so I don’t need certified stuff but do want good stuff. Are there any tried and true field tested alternatives to the 3200? (Hopefully without the frequent parts failure built in)
Thanks.
