The subject says it all. Here's my tailwheel. Is it a Scott 3200? 3400? Not Scott? Attachment: Tailwheel.jpg

The log book doesn't give you a clue what it is?  It kinda reminds me of an Alaskan Bushwheel made as a replacement for a Scott. Maybe a 3400 series. Just a guess...

There are so many entries in the Canadian logs that it's hard to say. There's an entry about an Alaskan Bushwheel, but I assumed that wasn't it because it's so small. I can't find anything else, but that doesn't mean there's nothing else to find.

Looks like an ABI 3400 to me.

Sully How do you tell a 3200 from a 3400? They look the same on the ABW site.

Mounting bolts through the side. Fits stinger. 3200 fits flat spring, mounts through top.

Sully That's what I thought too. The 3400 is designed for a tubular tailwheel spring while the 3200 is for flat leaf spring. Tailwheels from Alaskan Bushwheel are black. The original Scott are usually light grey in my experience
