What's in a tailwheel????

If I was building another airplane I would make my own
tailwheel. Someone here on the 'net published plans for a neat one,
easy to make from aluminum angle and so on. Googling this group might
find a reference to it.

Dan,

Thanks very much for the info, I will try to find that tailwheel. The
8" matco, by my untrained eye , appears to be a well made tailwheel.
It is fully castering and has sealed bearings. You can see it at:
www.matcomfg.com just follow the prompts from products to tailwheels.
I guess the certification process is what costs the $$$$.
