Default RE: Dynaflight Butterfly

The transition speeds, going from steering with the tailwheel until rudder authority is gained is when tail draggers are more difficult. The longer length of the wheel base (mains to tailwheel) help make an airplane more docile. I always make sure I have slight "toe-in" on the mains, which also helps. However, the Butterfly is a docile airplane, so I expect it's ground handling to be docile, also.
