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! Regards, Lee... SNIP***** Just another dutch designed monoplane with a tailskid, in the lineage of the Fokker Eindecker! It should make for interesting flying and a great way to aerate the turf.
