• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

Ok, I think I need a build thread for my project as there will be multiple questions related to my build and I don't want to pollute the forum with 75 different topics.

Here's the first question: Can anyone tell me for certain what type of tailwheel this is? I believe it is an older Maule but no picture matches exactly. The groove for the leaf spring is 1.5 inches. There may have been a center detent at some point, but I think it's pretty well worn down. The bearings seem fine. I would like to know so that I can investigate the possibility of parts.

There should be a google photos link and an attachment
