yes the tail wheel is brittle, had to replace mine. used an ohio superstars assembly. Havent lost any yellow yet but there are some of the blue stripes underneath the bottom wing that are MIA. My hatch latch is fine so far but it did fill a little mushy the last time i had the canopy off, will have to have a better look at it before going up again. Performance is great, the trim covering is not so good. detracts from an otherwise nice airframe. wish the whole world would just use ultracoat.
