New Purchase Option: Scratch n Dent is now available for white and black powder coating color options! When the tailwheels return from the powder coater, a few come back with less than pristine coats.
Functionally – the tailwheel works just as great, but there is a blemish or two. We now have the option for you to buy the Scratch n Dent versions of our tailwheel for $15 less. A brand new tailwheel for a discounted price!

Well made accessory recommended by Vince Foster. Would have preferred a black powdercoat, but they were out. Aircraft sits higher. Excellent craftsmanship.
Fits great. Can’t tell you how it flies, because the airplane is still six months away from being flyable.
Very nicely made and easy to fit. Much better wheel clearance and a better view over the nose.
Perfect fit on my my RV-4. Haven’t flown it yet but the rudder pressure required on taxi seems significantly less than the Vans tailwheel and somewhat better feeling of control
The tail wheel could be a little bit lighter....
