A question about takeoffs.


Recommended Posts

I'm still uncertain if the plane has a steerable tailwheel or if it casters full time. I know there's no lock.  Another concern is one wing trying to fly ahead of the other.  The rocking motion induced often requires a serious amount of aileron to correct.  Not sure if this is the narrow gear making it tippy or if it's pilot induced.  Anyway it usually results in the actual line of flight being quite different from runway heading.  FWIW I owned and flew taildraggers for forty years.
