FOX Tail problems

Postby The Hangman » Wed Jul 04, 2012 7:53 am

Can anyone help with a tail wheel problem on the FOX?
I am currently flying the Kitfox 2, what a pleasure, however the tail wheel spring has a tendency to break.
I am currently using a leaf spring and was wondering if there are coil springs available or possible drawings available that I can try ti rectify this snag??
Any advice will be accepted with open arms please.... :? :? :wink:

Kitfox use a matco which uses a narrower blade. I do not think our system will fit but mail me some pics and will see what plan we have for you.
