Anyone installed these on a -7?

Hi.

On this website:

http://www.aviationtechproducts.com/html/new_products.html

Aviation Tech Products are showing their new products. Among them are their exhaustpipe extensions and their new tailwheel.

Have anyone installed these on a -7 and have some experience to shear?
For example: does the "drumming" get less?
And: does this tailwheel do the same as the Bell TW?

Feel free til use a PM or my private e-mail: [email protected]

Thanks.

That TW looks to be an EXACT clone to the Bell...

Any ATP users out there???

I was about to ask the same thing about the ATP tailwheel. It looks very similar to the Bell, which has been very popular, at least on this site. But I have not heard any hype on this one. Anybody know anything about them?

I have the ATP tailwheel fork and love it

I installed an Aviation Tech Products tailwheel fork on my RV-8 about 15 hours ago and I really like it. After more than 500 hours with the original Van's fork, this new tailwheel fork is a big improvement. Not only does it decrease the chance of the tailwheel dropping into a hole or grating on the ramp and damaging the plane, but it also has improved ground handling on rollout after landing. My RV-8 has had an occasional unpredictable quality to landing rollout with the original tailwheel fork. This new fork has better geometry and has alleviated the problem. I highly recommend it. Also, the ATP folks have been very professional to deal with.
