RE: Kadet Senior Taildragger Question
OK I disagree with your logic and this goes for most any taildragger. If you do not choose to use a steerable tailwheel which is always the preferred method then use only a fixed tailwheel not a freeswivel unit. A free swiveling tailwheel will present ground handling problem that a fixed non swivel tailwheel will not and remember with most of our models you can still taxi and steer with a little practice.
Many folks don,t realize that many full scale taildraggers that have tailwheels that can be kicked into free swivel also in many case have a manual tailwheel lock that locks the tailwheel into a fixed position for take off and landing.
