Repl Wheel 4X1.5X5/8 Bb Naturl

November 8, 2024

Wheel/tire is good, I would remove the cheap bearings and install the better ones. My first ones failed after only 40 landings. Also the bearing zerk doesnt work and the bearings appear to be sealed anyway.

Works great, Just like the original. I got about 350 landings out of it which I feel is pretty good. The old one is still serviceable but just looks worn out. The bearing grease zerk doesnt work on either of them is my only complain.

This tailwheel works great on my Progressive Aerodyne Searey Classic. Have worn out one tail wheel but at the current price including the wheel and bearings, its a great buy for an airplane part.
