Hi Danny I was going to have a floating tail wheel with a bias to run center i have a trainer with skid / or tail drager and find steering is relatively easy (ok goes the way i want 95% of the time) with throttle elevator and rudder control but have not done a floating wheel before are there any pitfalls i dont know about.
The majority of my flying has been done of grass and have not had the pleasure of the black stuff maybe this also helps keeping in a relatively straight line for take off
cheers Nige.
