I have the 3 leaf one. I originally had the two leaf. It did not break..but several others reported theirs had broke so I changed it.
On thing I noticed is that it does not bend as much, so the wheel does not caster as easily. You have to get some speed up to get going the right way. Going to have a spring shop rebend mine.

--> Kitfox-List message posted by: kitfox(at)simnet.is
Hello people and happy new year.
I recantly broke the tailwheel "leaf spring" on me Kitfox II(#220). It was the original one, a single blade (1,25"wide)and the wheel is an original solid Maule rubber wheel.
I borrowed a spring from a KF III that is curently beeing rebuilt. It is a two blade spring but to put it on my KF II I need to modify the fastening system for the spring.
I have contacted Skystar and they say that both these spring types are obsolete and they have designed a new three pice spring, costs 125 usd. I am now waiting for them to send me a picture of this new spring.
What is your experience, wich kind of tailwheel spring is best for the KF II ?
