Has anyone had a DG 505 tail wheel hub (plastic) blow
out? If so what do you think the cause was? Just one
side of the hub lost a fifth of the rim. The debate
seems to be side load in ground handling vs tail first
landing. The tube did not pop and there are no scars
on the other half. Any tips would be great!


I recommend the 9 lb. DG brass tailwheel. Strong, too
