    Yes but i would like to keep the same angle of attack for the landings i switch to NANCO tires 21" coming from the original ATV wheels (20")
    So i was thinking of adding A" too at the tailwheel the maul is 5" sure ?

    My tail sits 2" higher but I just got some bush type tires I havn't mounted yet. It will probably put things about the way the were.

    You must be talking about a different Maule tailwheel than the one I replaced on my Kitfox III. It only weighed 6lbs.

    Will the Matco tailwheel assembly work with my existing spring? I just recently upgraded to the 3 leaf on my Model 4. James Thomas

    I bought the 3 lief spring set from Kitfox when I bought the Matco tailwheel. I left off the 3rd short spring to save weight and ended up trimming a couple inches off the other 2 springs to match the springs I replaced.

    I have the Matco WHLT-7P single fork 7 inch pneumatic on my plane. In combo with the Nanco mainmounts it works out good ! I also canned my Maule as I wasn't too happy with it. Lost a little weight also as the Matco is only 5 lbs total

    Forgot to add. The Matco bolted right to my 3 leaf tailspring with no mods. Pretty much "plug and play"
