Brian has given some good input. The original tailwheel design, when under
load, tends to tilt the pivot axis and this causes the wheel to resist
turning (in both directions) The wheel also needs to be directly in line
with the pivot which should be vertical. ZK KRT

Subject: KR> Tail Wheel Authority
Dear Airplane Drivers,
In your tail wheel aircraft; at low taxi speeds, does one direction have
more turn authority than another?Left pedal for continentals and right
pedal for VW etc.
Sometimes i can barely turn right when taxiing (Continental). Wondered if
my tail wheel is so light that it doesn't grab the grass against the
engine torque or something else?
