One thing flying wise, if you were holding in right rudder at contact, the tailwheel would have been cocked right. If you were holding in that rudder and came down solid on the tail at ground contact, it could have temporarily jammed it right on you. I've seen this happen a few times. I think I have experienced that. As another poster suggested, it's an argument for wheelies! Happily the number of instances is slight, but it seems to me that if I am going to swerve on takeoff, it is always to the left, and if I am going to swerve on landing, it is always to the right. all the best -- Dan Ford email: (put Cubdriver in subject line) Warbird's Forum www.warbirdforum.com Piper Cub Forum www.pipercubforum.com the blog www.danford.net |
