Hello Everyone,

Multiple attempts to order new dual fork assembly from API for N327SB. 10 years and a bunch of landings and we need a whole new assembly. API is not responding to me. Are they out of business? If so, which tailwheel is everyone going to? The Vans dual fork all steel one?

Thanks,
Brent Schultz

man, that is a bummer. I just checked aircraft spruce, and I don't see them there either. Thats where I purchased mine from a couple years ago.

I’m disappointed too. After looking around I like the JDAir ones dual bearings on the vertical axle. They make one that fits the 5/8” tapered rod spring we used. That’s were id go.
I’m in the process of trying to establish an OEM distribution with them.

Hey Cubes,

When you have a distribution deal with JDAir, let us know. I'll buy the wheel setup and tailspring from you to convert my current leaf spring configuration.

No rush for me, as my setup is working fine now.

Thanks!

Peter

Yep. I have four unfilled orders for that setup. Hopefully they respond quickly.
