Source for round tailspring

[Mark Spickard]

Where can I source a 1”, tapered to 3/4”, tailspring for a -5? Aviation Products p/n 6172 looks like the correct dimensions……17-4 stainless. I would go to Bearhawk Aircraft but they still have no store. Is it true that they are no longer interested in selling any parts to plans builders?

Hey Mark,
Happy to sell parts. It has been a task to part number and organize five aircraft worth of parts. The store is in progress and will be uploaded once complete. Any parts that you need just let us know and we will get you a quote. Tail springs are I stock for the Five as well as tailwheels. just shoot your parts request to info@bearhawkaircraft.com
