Goof....
Thanks for volunteering, but I believe they are cast or milled.
Not stamped.

Yes, it's the rudder pedal that is "stamped" when the tail wheel is actually trying to become a nose wheel.

I am sure you will admit that the visibility during taxi is far better than in a taildragger.............

...and on the 8th day God created little wheel, and he put it on the tail, and he looked upon it and said, "it is good." Then Satan came and whispered to the little wheel, "He is just trying to hold you back, you should be at the front." And so it is that evil has since been trying to convince the little wheel to move to the front and it is only by the vigilance of the feet of the righteous that the little wheel stays at the back, where God intended.

I have spent so much time sitting in my plane the last 2.5 years looking over the nose! When that tail comes up on the first take off roll, it will probably scare me to death!

I got one of each. Like them both but would not want a nose wheel on my C140 or a tail wheel on my RV-6A.

When I bought my 8A in 2013, the differential between nosewheel and tailwheel was almost $1000/year for insurance.
It's not insignificant.

Jay, did you have significant tailwheel time? When I asked about insurance I was told that the first year's premium would be fairly high, since I'd have very little TW time, but it would go down after I had some number of hours (50 or 100) in tail draggers.
