Hi Ron
I followed the advice of another (Eric Trombley?) and Dennis Vories and
replaced the tailwheel with a sealed bearing wheel by Colson and the
outrigger wheels with sealed bearing wheels by the same company.  Vories
reports that they not only don't sling grease but that they also are
much quieter.

Anyone using a different tire for the tailwheel other than the 6 inch
Aircraft
Spruce one provided?

Anyone try the sealed bearings Aircraft Spruce sells?

Anyone try to grind the tire so it tracks round? Like put it in a lathe
and go
after it with a 3 inch air sander?
