Someone said;
The wider gear track should make it handle better.  I'd guess he's
headed in the right direction with the wider arm spacing on
the tailwheel.


My opinion  is;

My first homebuilt had a very narrow track, and it was a delight to fly and
land.  My Jodel D11 had Cessna gear legs mounted to the "standard" gear
attach ( extremely WIDE track) , which made it a delight to fly and land.

When the CG gets forward of the leading edge of the wing ( low wing
aircraft ) then true squirliness begins.  On a Pitts, with the axle at the
firewall , true squirliness is achieved.
