I will admit that I have a pull-pull from my rudder to my tail wheel steering arm but I use the tail wheel steering for take off. When I land the plane is rolling so slow that I just let it roll out. Again I would try more flap to get the plane to scrub off more speed. It's very stable and can handle a very slow speed landing. Let me know how it goes. Good Luck
Thanks for your reply, but it does it if I just taxi and cut the throttle. For instance on the taxi test, I would taxi to almost takeoff speed and and then pull the throttle back and it spins i.e. ground loop. Are you using the TopRC Models tail gear and springs like was shown on the earlier post? Thanks, Dave
