I just got off the phone with John, after ordering
an in-stock
replacement spring of better-than-original-design
for my recently
broken (original) tailwheel spring, Jose, and I'm
sure your experiences
will parallel mine in dealing with the new Kitfox
owners.

Just a little skinning of the fabric right on the tubing that is right
over the spring...not enough to warrant "grounding" the plane
though....a case of bronchitis has seen to that. When I feel better,
I'll add a patch over the skinned area and repaint. I was only taxiing
at about 3-4 mph, and the ground was very soft...in fact we were
practicing soft field T/O's and landings when it happened, and it was
fixed in one hour including 20 minutes to go home and get the spare
spring. The tail dug a 10-foot long furrow from the broken spring
dragging on the ground...it made a pretty good tail skid. : )
