There is less than a week left in this year's List Fund Raiser and only a few short
days to grab one of the great Contribution Gifts available this year. Support

it will pick up here towards the end. Please remember that it is solely the
Contributions of List members that keeps the Lists up and running as there
is no commercialism or advertising on the Matronics Lists and Forums.
The List Contribution web site is secure, fast, and easy and you can use a credit
card, Paypal, or a personal check:

I want to thank everyone that has already made a generous contribution to support
the Lists!
Thank you!

| Subject: | Model 4 tail wheel spring |
I'm completing a Model 4 started years ago by someone else. My kit has a
single leaf tail wheel spring, and its been suggested that I add a second
leaf for safety, should the first leaf break. I'm concerned about the tail
spring being too stiff. The single spring is about 3/16 thick, and is
already pretty stiff. What does the list think? Bruce Estes

Buy the 2-leaf (actually 2 and one-half) from John McBean. My single spri
ng set-up broke and I replaced it with John's, which is doing well and isn
't too stiff.

I just ordered a leaf from kfox and they only sell in a complete kit
unfortunately. It comes with 3 leafs but the stud on bottom is only
long enough for two which is what i have always had and that is a
perfect amount of cushion for my model 4. I have had some hard landings
and fly in badlands of SD and would not fly with less than 2 springs.
Just my opinion. Also when i had to trailer the fox out recently of a
winter wheat field i didnt have a chance to empty the fuel and the
weight alone broke the tail spring after only a few bumps on a flatbed
trailer.

That statement describes my biggest heartache. I have a list of things to do but
I am not willing to sacrifice a weekend flight to do any of them.
I have ordered a new Ivo medium prop (thanks for the hookup with your buddy Dave)
and I am about to order the Nanco tires. I gap sealed the elevator, what a
huge improvement that was. Replaced the windshield, replaced/upgraded the brakes,
upgraded the intercom with one with stereo Ipod interface, rewired the charging
system so it actually worked, removed slop from the aileron system, installed
push-to-intercom switches, and relocated my radiator. And I have only
had the plane since February. One of these days i will replace the wing tanks
and re plumb the fuel system, but I am afraid of fabric and painting still.
This toy is a constant project but damn is it fun.
