About this part
The 14-inch tailwheel is the choice for off-airport flying. It floats over soft sand instead of digging in, lifts the tail clear of rocks to protect the stabilizer, and cuts blowouts on hot, dusty strips. Taxiing takes less power, and that means fewer prop dings.
The fork and hub are made from current-production aluminum alloys. Most internal parts swap with original Scott parts.
Keep the tire at 65–70 PSI for hard surfaces. Some owners run lower pressures on soft fields.

What owners say
“We haven't experienced a single flat tire in 4 years and are still using the original tires!”
“Your tail wheel feels much more solid and controllable.”
