Most of the more successful C-Arf gee bee flyers I have seen, use a very large tailwheel with the original set up for better control and that also puts the tail up about where mine is. The only drawback I can see is that it may be a bit more susceptible to a nose over. When I taxi through the grass I have to be very carefull. The tail has bounced up once enough to strike the prop($60). I talked to someone a while back who was using a 3.5" tailwheel with great succsess. This picture shows one at least that big. Jim
