RC Plane Tail Wheel Assemblies
The tail wheel steers a taildragger on the ground and takes repeated shocks on landing, so a sturdy assembly matched to the model's weight is worth getting right. This category gathers tail wheel assemblies, brackets, and mounts for a range of airframe sizes.
Complete Tail Wheel Assemblies
SIG offers leaf-spring tail wheel assemblies, including a large version rated for 8 to 10 pound aircraft and an extra-large option for heavier models. The leaf spring absorbs bumps while keeping the wheel tracking straight during the takeoff roll.
Brackets and Mounts
Sullivan tail wheel brackets are offered across several weight ranges, from 2 to 6 pounds up through 10 to 22 pounds, letting you match the hardware to your model. The Four Pi Tail Gear Mount, sold as a set of four, provides a mounting solution for building the gear into the airframe.
