Auster tailwheel
 

Anybody got an Auster tailwheel cluttering up their hanger, garage, workshop, bedroom( :) )?

If you have, please drop me a line.

Nope, but it might be worth giving Light Aero Spares a ring on 01409-281578. It's the sort of thing they tend to carry, and they've never let me down yet. Another possibility would be Hampshire Light Plane Services on 01264-860056, who service a couple of Austers I think.

Ta Genghis, tried Light Aero Spares but they had none. Will give Hampshire Light a ring on Monday.

Tesco's.
nah but you could try here <a href="http://www.austerclub.com/Club_Bits/for_sale.htm" target="_blank">Auster Club</a>

Ta 100LL, the tailwheel I have already is from a Tesco trolley :)
Tried the Auster Club already, ta again.
The Auster 6 for £8,000 sounds tempting though....


Will definitely call Hampshire Light tomorrow. <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0">

i Know you probably want to keep it standard but cant you get something off the shelf like a scott or something

Try Maurice Kirk ; He has a shed full of bits and
is looking to raise funds for his next adventure.
Bane of the establishment - but magnificent pilot.
If the threatened book comes out - buy it

100LL, I've got a Scott on it now but was trying to make it more original. Given the cost, I'll probably just replace the spring. <img src="frown.gif" border="0">

NearlyStol, I'll give Mr. Kirk a try, he does seem to have bits of everything lying around. Wasn't his trip to Oz something else. Going that far in a Cub is one hell of an achievement.

The ads are relatively recent, got 'em right here!

If you have no success, give a Pt No: and I'll see what I can do. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Cyclic, you are a hero. I'll try them tomorrow.

Auster Spares have a tailwheel in stock but it is v expensive.

you could try placing a free wanted advert on <a href="http://www.barnstormers.com" target="_blank">www.barnstormers.com</a>
