Hi Ron - it is common in all the taildraggers I've flown that application
of the ailerons
on the ground will result in a yaw in the opposite direction. This effect
is more
dramatic on some, less on others but is very typical. Not unique to the mo
nowheel.
I was taught that when entering a ground loop situation, always hold the
ailerons
fully in the direction of the yaw and this will prevent or minimize the pot
ential ground
loop. I really don't think the mono is any better or worse than any other
TD in this
regard.
