Have any of you guys had any problems with the tailwheel bracket? Yesterday I broke the bracket (the steel wire just fractures at the base) the second time. It was pretty windy yesterday and I had one somewhat hard touch-and-go as well (only the tail wheel touched the ground, but it did so pretty hard).

The stock one didn't last long, and I thought the 60 - 1/4 size Sullivan bracket would last for the lifetime: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXFV48

I must admit my CG is pretty far back, and usually the tail wheel touches the ground first. I fly from a grass field, so I have replaced all wheels with bigger ones, 2 3/4" wheels on the main landing gear, and the tail wheel is a something like a 1 3/4" GWS foamy wheel.
