Any one have any experience with these?  I just bought the one on Barnstormers.   Jim Chuk

 

PS  maybe I should have asked the question before I bought it!  LOL

I run the dual fork 8" one that's about 3" wide I love it!

I guess I've been working too much on the Pursang. I usually watch that kind of stuff on ebay and was wanting an 8" one for this plane. I didn't even see it.

 

Let me know what you think. I'd love to jump to 8" and get rid of the 6'' solid pizza cutter on the plane now.

I have the single fork 8" on mine, seems to work great ,nice and quiet

FYI to all, My buddy Dave is selling an extra 8" Matco single leg tailwheel he has in the shop.  

 

I'm not sure the asking price but if anyone is interested I can ask real easily...

I am using the 8" Matco dual fork on mine. The single leg Matco with the same wheel is great also so that would be a good one to get.  The tires are pnumatic and about 3.5" wide so they work good in soft ground and sand.

Jim have you tried out the Matco yet? Just curious what you think of it.

For the record Dave's tailwheel that's for sale is a 6" pneumatic wheel.

Didn't get any use out of the wheel yet, it's for an avid I'm rebuilding. Wasn't all that good a deal, had to rebuild it. Other than it having a better tire on it than stock, I have almost as much into it as a new one... No free lunch as they say. Jim Chuk
