Thanks John, I have been using the rope method for pulling the fuse out of
the garage to work (sand) on it. I just thought that the swiveling
tailwheels that I have seen on so many taildragers would be much more
convenient. But, not at the expense of stability on the rollout.
Kevin, sanding wildly, close to priming the whole deal.

Kevin,
John Hurst has a piece of rope with a loop tied in each end. He hooks
the loops to the axle stubs and pulls the plane backwards. Works very well.
