RE: Escapade Problem
I have an Escapade, and have 50% expo dialed in the rudder/tailwheel. This way I only give very minor inputs. I had a horrible time with the plane going crazy prior to adding additional expo also. Dialing in the expo has helped a bunch. This has REALLY helped on landings also. At first, the plane was all over the place (wingtips touching the ground even) while trying to steer during slowdown. This isn't such a problem anymore. I also added a 1 1/4" tailwheel to raise the tail end up a little. This helped takeoffs more than anything.
