Any kind of limiter can be even more problematical expecially typical overweight scale airplanes That's for sure.

Here is a type of tailwheel I have used on some airplanes in this case a Senior Cadet. Did mention this is when it on wheels and oh Yea it carries over eight pounds of full Yup its fixed but yes it can handle on the ground almost as well as trigear but on take of a straight line takeoff is a piece of cake.
