Default Scott 3200 tailwheel

The main advantage, or probably the only advantage of the Scott is the
dual fork. I wonder why Maule doesn't develop a dual fork unit also. I
have a 3200 on my homebuilt, and have only had one problem with it,
shimmy. And that was due to the springs being loose, and the friction
nut not being tight enough, added to that, a rough runway that incited
the shimmy. It wore all the tread off the tire down to the cords.
If I encounter the worn bronze bushing mentioned earlier, I'll get new
ones made up at a machine shop and have them installed, before
purchasing a new fork from Scott. One of the nice things about
homebuilts, not being at the mercy of a PMA requirment madated by the
FAA.
