Stick Jammer........Finess the throttle... that's what I had been told too. But this plane wants lots of throttle, right away. I've got four taildraggers, a Rascal and three warbirds, and they're all SOOOO much easier on the ground than the Seagull SW II. Don't know what it is about that plane. I added toe-in, tried expo, I didn't try changing the thrust line, though. Another pilot at the field bought one, actually before I did, he's what I would modestly classify as an excellent pilot, and he had trouble with it. Cure? Go nearly full throttle right off the bat and stand on the rudder. Scary? Sure is. Mine was actually my first taildragger, I bought it to learn to fly before I finished my first warbird, a global FW-190. Funny thing was the F-W was an absolute *****cat compared to the spacewalker. I can't every recall ground looping that airplane.

There are a lot of planes out there that would make better first taildraggers. sure does look nice in the air though. I wound up selling mine, but mainly because the Rascal does what I bought it to do, and better.
