Ron,
It's not a swiveling tailwheel that locks itself when centered ala
scott;maule. It's full swiveling like a grocery cart caster (with a
smaller wheel!) that locks rigid, centered when activated. I believe
the idea was to keep side loads from castering the tailwheel on landing.
The tough part was remembering to lock/unlock the thing. There's a
reason competition aerobatic aircraft don't have retractable gear!


Except for Ray Williams Pitts RG!
