RE: How to keep TR's in front of you
You can use some right aileron to slow down your TR. That makes it easier to keep ahead of it all.
You pretty much have to use all the controls to keep it in one place. Rudder is a big part of it.
I tried a TR once in a 40MPH wind. It looked more like a stationary aileron roll. The tail was pretty much straight out behind the plane. I held it in place, but it didn't look anything like a TR.
