Default Brass tail wheel

Be aware that air filled tyres will flatten progressively
all the way to the wheel rim during heavy impacts and
consequently reduce the acceleration forces transmitted
to the structure.

Denser foam/liquid fills will deform at a slower rate
and/or deflect over a smaller distance thus producing
much higher dynamic loads.


And a brass tailwheel?
