Compression Springs
Compression springs are much better on steerable tail wheels because they accept abuse. They’re used on full-size aircraft, and you can make them into springs from opposite ends. Jumbo-paper-clip wire is strong enough for this—even in large models. The final little hooks which keep fittings inside the spring, are bent after insertion.
