    Some of us made adjustments to the tail wheel. The SM standard tail wheel using one spring blade is know for being a tad too flexible, some landings resulted in damage on the lower side of the rudder.

    What have you done to improve the stiffness? Where did you get the parts needed? What is the result?

    Harold Line has a Custom Tail Wheel on his Mk. XIV replica that looks very much like the tailwheel of the original:

    Custom Tail WheelAnyone here an idea if we could install something similar on our Supermarine Aircraft Mk.25/26/26B’s? Where and how would we get these made? What would that cost?
