I'll reiterate, I've never flown a Pitts with this tailwheel. I
understand it was very cool at one time to have the tailwheel unlock by
connecting to the trim bar, so that it would only unlock with full nose
down trim.

Never even seen one on a Pitts in real life, but , my very well known
Pitts mechanic has one as a caster on his gate!

re watching the speed when unlocking it in a turn is valid, but they do have a
little give when locked anyway.
oh, and Toe out, without a doubt!
