Does it rock in "yaw" or "pitch"? Or both ? If yaw, it can be very
dangerous indeed...adjust your springs right away!!!. After they are
adjusted, grab the rudder and check to see if there is any play remaining.
If so, the drive yoke/fork horn holes might be worn to an oval shape.
Correct with ream and shims. Be sure that the tailwheel/rudder alignment
stays in adjustment, even after twisting by hand. Very important.
If it rocks back and forth ("pitch") your fork or its horn bearings or
their mount to the tail is damaged. Either way, correct it before you fly
it again...
