Default RE: PLANE WIGGLES TAIL

Apparently it's called "fish tailing". I had a Protech Sundancer that did it as well. Had something to do with fluid dynamics and the cure was to add split fuel tubing to the edge of the rudder thereby forming some sort of a spoiler. In the end I couldn't be bothered and the aircraft was written off in a mid-air with its tail still wagging....
