Landing back at my home strip I had landed and was on roll out and as I rolled over some very small bumps the tailwheel spring broke. Probably doing about 30 kts at the time, the chains held onto the tail wheel which bounced up and damaged the rudder.
The spring broke at the tail wheel end where it comes out of the tailwheel swivel boss.
If anyone wants to see a picture of it please send me a PM with your email address and I can send a picture or if someone has the ability to put it in the thread.
It is a classic fatigue failure
