The Stock RV4 (straight) tail spring works great when combined with the Aviation Products Inc. dual fork tailwheel assembly. Mine works great. Vince Frazier also has a nice tailwheel setup on his website. Check it out... Smokey HR2 SNIP*********************** Andrew, If you have rabbit holes to watch out for, maybe you should have a look at the monster fork that I made for Greg Illes. You can find it on the vansairforce forums, just search on monster tailwheel. I can make one for you if you like. You can see all of the other tailwheel stuff that I offer at this URL www.flyboyaccessories.com If you've still got the stock Van's tailwheel on your plane (or on the part that is broken off!), do yourself a huge favor and buy one of my tailwheels. If not mine, buy one from Doug Bell. Either one will give you much better obstacle clearance and improved handling. I keep my stuff in stock and ready to ship. Lots of other RV stuff in the store too.

There are two different configurations that Vans sells; both interchangeable. This one I have is the spring steel tapered version. If you send me where I should send it to I'll get it there ASAP. You can email me directly at larry@ncproto.com or contact me at the below telephone numbers. Larry E. James New Concepts, Inc. Redmond, WA +1-425-885-1200 +1-800-783-9782 Larry E.

From: Lee Logan Andrew: We had the same thing happen to the tail spring on our RV-4. Flew it home off the grass strip we were on at the time. The spring held up fine by itself during takeoff and the subsequent landing at home field. If you are going to be stuck for awhile, you might consider that. No harm, no foul, when we did it. YMMV, of course!
