Hey guys..

I'm thinking of replacing the Maule Tailwheel on our S-1S with an Aviation Products Tailwheel due to tw shimmy on landing rollout.

But what size should I choose? Are there reasons for the smaller one (4") or should we go with the 6" type....or do both work good on that little airplane?

I would only change the tailwheel (so no conversion to a rod spring is planned).


Thanks...
