I cut a length of spring from a 1930's auto leaf spring, cold bent to
shape, dressed 1/8" off each side to fit the tail wheel assembly and
bolted it to the fuselage. Works great.

I keep thinking that a section of leaf spring from a golf cart would be

I sure hope 133RM makes it to the Gathering. The last time I saw it
was back in the 90's? in either Tennessee or Arkansas as I recall. Pine
Bluff in 2001?
