Does anyone know where to get an extra heavy tail wheel to move the
Cof G rearwards?

I filled my tailwheel with foam. Added 2.4 lbs. Cost about $20 as I
recall.

Lead foam? I don't get it. Foam seems pretty light. What kind of
foam?

John,

I've filled a tail wheel with foam. It was done at a local truck tire shop.
The foam is rubber which is quite heavy. The 2 to 2.5 lb. weight increase
is correct for a standard glider wheel. The increase on the little Matco
WHLTW35 wheel I installed on my HP-14 was only 0.5 lbs.

I'm interested in a swap. I have a brass tail wheel and need a standard one. Send me the details on yours if you're interested. I'll look up the axle size on mine.
