    Default Tail Wheel Question

    If one opts for the bigger 3200 tail wheel after buying a plane is it much of hassle to swap the tail wheel assembly out? Does fabric need to cut?

    Not at all. Very simple, one bolt installation for either. No fabric needs to be cut, and the leaf springs are interchangeable.

    Going from the stock tail wheel to the 3200 type you need the tail wheel, a different length bolt, a bushing that goes in the tail wheel and an adapter that goes between the leaf spring and the tail wheel. The steering springs are the same for either, but the number of links in the steering chains may change.
