In putting on new compression tailwheel springs I have noticed a potential
problem. With the tailwheel off ground looking from rear forward the tail wheel and rudder don't line up when equal length tail springs are used.Holding the rudder centered the left spring is acting like it is too
short and the right spring too loose holding the tailwheel in a left turn.
(Maybe this is why I need so much right rudder on take-off. Both spring
chains are equal length of twelve links.Should I add a link or two to left
and remove from right? Is this a common problem? Am I missing some thing
altogether.
Thanks
