• 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.

Hey Gang, forgive me if this has been covered before. I used the search function but didn't find what I was looking for.

In an effort to accrue parts for my Skybolt project I was trying to determine what tailwheel setup to use.

Is there a preference in tailwheels/springs for the Skybolt. I know some people use flat springs and others use round rod type springs. How about the tailwheels themselves. It seems like some use Scott, others use Homebuilder specials and the list goes on. Steen sells both types (round and flat) but I'm uncertain as to the advantages/disadvantages to each.

I'm trying to make an informed decision so any input you guys could offer would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Much!!
Wilkie
