Graham failed to point out one other benefit of his mod (he's far too modest
you know)...
The mod has a 2:1 ratio of tailwheel to rudder movement which allows far
greater manoeverability on the ground. It also permits another 20 degrees of
sprung movement until hitting the stops at 80 degrees if you want to use
propeller blast to assist the turn. Watch out if you do use the propeller -
this little critter will lift it's tail off the ground if you use too much.
Makes for real quick left hand turns if you do :-)

ps I have been off (out of!) the air for ten days while moving
(decorating!!!) buildings. You guys sent 170 emails during that time!!
