HP 14, fully castering tailwheel for easy ground handling, offset CG towhook, dropped a wing on the roll; it instantly groundlooped broke the rope, and nearly smashed a parked glider. Maybe a worst case but a lesson in what can happen. JMF Hi John - Hope you are well ! HP14s are supposed to have springs for tailwheel steering, no ? IIRC I had an exciting take-off some decades ago when I didn't replace the busted springs... Fixed prior next flight ! Have a great Holiday season, Best Regards, Dave "YO electric"
