Tailwheel For Vans
April 8, 2024

Fits Nicely either the Vans or aftermarket fork. Tracks nicely seems to wear very good. Looks Showy and high tech. I noticed it is quieter than the Vans unit. Seems to be better in terms of grip on the runway during rollout than my original unit, which had some 600 hours on it. Super nice unit!

Howdy, folks. I got some 1200 hours on my replacement tailwheel, and I needed another because the bearing wore out, which is why I knocked off a star from my otherwise high regard for this thing. It rolls along very well while I taxi, and steers with little trouble. I noticed the bearing wore out well before the tire, which remains almost pristine. Have fun with your RV. I love mine.

Part number 06-01284 accepts a 3/8" diameter axle.

Q: Can this replacement tailwheel for Vans tailwheel assembly be inflated with a standard ball pump?

This tailwheel is a solid tailwheel, meaning that it does not use a tire and tube. It is solid rubber.

This tailwheel weighs 1.57 lbs.

Q: Will the Vans solid rubber replacement wheel assembly fit a Scott 3200 yoke? I have the standard pneumatic wheel but it seems to unlock prematurely ( before it hits the stop) due to ithe soft and large surface contact area) ?

This is not designed for the Scott 3200 per the vendor.
