Short direct cables will only work if the wind is straight on your nose and you
are not producing any torque; otherwise it won’t.
The reason is that your direction of travel rarely equates to the amount of
rudder input you have. Here’s an example:
You are approaching to land and have a three knot
My belief is that it depends on what type of tail wheel assembly you have. If
you have a castoring or non-castoring. The springs you see in cables are either
so you can still use the rudder while the tail wheel steering is locked in a
straight position, or because you might want to use full rudd
Hi guys
What is you thoughts on direct cable to tail with no slack??
Or
Cables with slack ( as other types of aircraft use)
Or
Springs connecting the tail wheel?
