When I taxi at the speed I like, the tail spring enters a vertical bending resonance. I can stop it with a blast of power- stick back, or speed up , or stop... It happened with my Maule and is worse with my Scott 2000 type. I have not played with various clamping loads from the tailwheel bracket on the two full length leaves yet,. but that seems to be all I have to vary ? Any similar experience out there ? Thanks.
