Jay,

Unless there is something wrong with the Kitfox (or particularly with the tailwheel), with the experience in the Vag and the Lakes, I doubt you would have any trouble with the Kitfox.

And if you want to alleviate any potential issues with a Maule tailwheel, just remove the screw on the back side of the tailwheel casting that holds a cam plate/bracket, and set the bracket in the hangar somewhere, then go out and enjoy the Kitfox. The only thing removing the bracket will do is not allow the tailwheel to swivel 360 degrees. But it will still turn with the rudder left and right. Removing that plate is cheap insurance if you have any concerns about a Maule tailwheel swiveling when you don't want it to.

Don't let any of this scare you off. Kitfox are great flying airplanes.
