I'm starting this new thread because I feel we've hijacked this thread enough.

I have modified Danas tailwheel design shown in the above linked thread to accommodate a larger tailwheel and a locking mechanism that will release the tailwheel to swivel freely when the stick is full aft. I'm looking for a 1/4" spring loaded locking pin. Searches through ACS, Home depot, Amazon, and a Google search didn't yield any results that I find promising. Anybody have any suggestions?
