After reversing the landing gear it is about half inch in front. This has reduced the sensitivity bur it still dances going down the runway. Some T6 aluminum is on the order list to be used for a new landing gear to further address this problem.Jerry
When during the takeoff roll are they occurring most often? Tail down or tail up?
Does it ground loop more often in one direction or the other (nose left or nose right)?
What is the direction of crosswind in relation to direction of ground loop?
