I just installed a new Matco 8" tailwheel on my model 4. IT has cams that only release at 45 degree angles left and right... I have a set of cams that release at 25 degrees. WHich ones should I use??????? THanks

I use the 25 and suggest that.  45 was almost impossible to get to release.

Is there a way to make them not release? I have the 45 and they seem to release quite easily.

I used the 25 degree wings, which matches the rudder rigging on an Avid. 45 will have difficulty releasing otherwise.

I have the Matco 8" wide tire with a 45 release on my kitfox and it is difficult to release the tailwheel. Most likely switching to the 25 soon.

Why do you want them to release?
