As they say, "There are only two types of taildragger pilots, those that have ground looped ond those that are going to in the future" I am sorry but it has taken me ten years of skimping here and there to rake together enough money to get my plane where it is today. I have seen too many reports of guys spending years building their pride and joy only to have it trashed before the first flight due to a ground loop. I will wimp out and fit mine with a "training wheel" but nobody will know anyway. It will be tucked away inside the fuz in flight with the mains. Now I hear someone saying that one day I will forget to extend them, maybe but it will be fitted with an automatic system like the Lancair that extends the gear when the speed drops below a certain level. Different strokes for different folks I guess. At least he built it and IS flying it, unlike some of us myself included. Mark, you can park your trycycle next to mine anyday!
