Got this in my email today, probably because I've ordered parts from them in the past.

Airframes Alaska is also pushing a "First Flyers" program, trying to get feedback and media content from the first people putting new products into use. Here's the link,

There was a problem with the big tailwheel on pavement. Be interesting to know how they fixed it.

For the Cubs I have standardized on the API, and it has zero damping. I added a fiber washer, and can tighten the kingpin nut for additional friction - shimmy cured!
