Vince's Rocket Tailwheel comments
I installed Vince's TW on my RV8. I personally, liked the looks of the Vince's TW, since it mimics the look of the VAN's standard issue TW.
At any rate, it was easy to install and I really like it. I also added the sealed bearings and spacers, that Vince offers, to the TW and I REALLY like that. No more grease slinging up on the rudder bottom and the wheel looks a lot cleaner with out the grease fitting in it.
Bottom line, for me, I like it a whole lot better than the standard VAN's TW, more clearance and a little bit better view over the nose. Steering is enhanced but not twitchy.
(I also added the LYNX springs and I like them, too, although I reversed the installation to put the springs down by the steering fork, since I had noted, on other planes, that they can hit the rudder fairing and mark the paint.)
Vince offers a good product and it is very easy to work with. I would recommend it.
