Default RE: Tailwheel Question ??

Welcome. I forgot to mention a third option, the non-steerable, but free turning, tailwheel. One of the guys has one of these at the field. Takeoffs appear to be ok, as does the groundhandling on a calm day. However, the slightest bit of wind makes it nearly impossible for him to even taxi the thing. The weather vane effect seems to be tough to overcome.
