I have never heard anyone mention the Home Builders Special tailwheel from Aircraft Spruce. Though I have over 1000 hours in taildraggers, this tailwheel has been trouble free from day one. I had one on the N96kl - 900 hours and no issues whatsoever. Solid lock when centered and easy unlock for tight one wheel turns or moving in the hangar.

Would I recommend this to a friend - Absolutely!
