<p>I put a Scott 2000 on mine. Just a logbook entry. No STC needed. Check with your A&P/IA. I love it. Mine had a taylorcraft steerable but not breakaway when I got it. Nice to not have to pick up the plane to put it in the hangar.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I also have a 2000 that I can part with if you need it. $400. Has no hubcap (they can be hard to find).</p>

<p>Our members are mostly voyeurs who read but don't comment. The site is pretty quiet, so most check in about once a month unless they have a question or an experience or information to share.</p>

Thanks for replying Andy, unfortunately it doesn't seem that this site gets a whole lot of use. But there's not a whole lot of Porterfield be there that's one of the things that makes them so cool.

<p>No, but they're probably out there and hopefully, anyone reading this who has one will respond with a review. I have a Maule on my tail and it works well. It didn't break from shimmying when I lost a spring and the arm & pivot work well with a wee ski in winter.</p>

Thanks for the reply Andy, The stock tailwheel assembly always seemed pretty minimalist and a weak link. Although it hasn't caused any problems, I always like the design of the Scott's. Do you know anyone who's put 2000 on their Skinny Bird?

<p>The TCDS (A-720) for your little girl states:</p>
<p><strong>203. Tail wheels</strong><br></br><strong>(a) 6x2.00 full swivel with special spring +4 lbs. (+195)</strong><br></br><strong>(b) 6x2.00 steerable with special spring +5 lbs. (+195)</strong><br></br><strong>(c) 3-3/8 solid rubber +2 lbs. (+195)</strong></p>
<p>So if a Scott 2000 fits within these options, you're good to go with just a logbook entry, a change in your equipment list, and a recalculated weight and balance. The Scott 3200…</p>

<p>So if a Scott 2000 fits within these options, you're good to go with just a logbook entry, a change in your equipment list, and a recalculated weight and balance. The Scott 3200 definitely won't fit within these options, and will require a field approval.</p>
