The ABI 3400 Baby Bushwheel Tailwheel Assembly is a direct replacement for the Scott 3400 tailwheel assembly, providing enhanced flotation and control for off-airport maneuvers. It offers extended steering control, easy automatic swivel release, and sealed protection against water, sand, and mud. With precision components and grease fittings for lubrication, it ensures reliable performance in challenging conditions.

What sets this tailwheel assembly apart are its key components. It features a wide fork, a spacious spacer, a heavy-duty steering arm, and an 11″ x 5″ x 4″ Baby Bushwheel tire. These components work together to significantly enhance flotation at the tail-end of your aircraft. This means that your aircraft will stay atop the ground, even in situations where traditional tailwheels might struggle, preventing the undesirable scenarios of digging in or getting stuck.

One of the standout features of the ABI 3400 Series Tailwheel is its Variable Steering Control. This innovative design allows pilots to have precise control over the tailwheel using the rudder pedals. This level of control is especially valuable when navigating challenging backcountry landscapes where precise maneuverability is essential. Additionally, it offers the flexibility of engaging in free caster mode, providing even more adaptability for navigating various terrains.

Another noteworthy aspect of this tailwheel assembly is its sealed and lubricated swivel mechanism. Which has been meticulously designed to ensure that contaminants such as sand, dirt, water, gravel, and mud do not infiltrate and compromise its performance. This innovative design not only extends the operational life of the ABI 3400 Series Tailwheel but also ensures its reliability in adverse conditions.

To further simplify maintenance and repair processes, this tailwheel assembly is supported by a comprehensive catalog of PMA (Parts Manufacturer Approval) parts. This catalog makes it easier for operators to source the necessary components and conduct routine maintenance or repairs, reducing downtime and ensuring the continued performance of the tailwheel assembly.
