Had to consider an alternative to the plans built tailwheel assembly. I was given a Cub style tailwheel a while back (see 11-20-2010 post), but it was real heavy, and would require a heavy assembly in order mount it. The plans call for a skid, which I also don't want, so I looked around on the web for ideas and chose to build mine like Douwe Blumberg's on Re-Piet.
