Hi Nigel
"Its sensitivity is dependent on the tension of the tailwheel springs so
it is important to set those to your liking."
My impression is if tailwheel drive springs are loose, it would be like
driving a car with a worn rack and pinion?? You can do it, it will not be
as sensitive as one with no play, but then again you will not be able to
maintain precise directional control due to hysteresis.
Please explain why loosing the springs would be more desirable to having
precise control over tailwheel by rudder inputs and if too touchy then
tame down by shorter drive moment arm or longer driven moment arm?
