For the longest time I haven't been able to figure out why the -4 hog was so hard to keep straight on the ground. It must have a broken cable or something. The tail wheel is not turning with the rudder. The other Corsairs seem to be working fine. Is it just my plane,
or are yours maintained by the same slacker of a chief mechanic?

Looking for a good wrench,

Vought rep checking in...

The tailwheel wasn't one of the parts I worked on when I did the mod to Dash-4 standard, but I'll have a look.

There is a single zipfile version of the -4 at my site http://sites.netscape.net/jeditaub/Downloads if you want to try a reload.

Mostly the Corsair is just a bear on the ground. The real one was too, but the model does need some refinement. It's a hard aspect to work with tho...
