I have only managed to get about 4 hours in my new airplane.
It seems like we have had IFR conditions almost every day since it arrived. Bummer!
I have noticed that the tailwheel steering on the ground is very "mushey" or "soft".
Sharp turns require hard braking.
After discussing this characteristic with two friends who own Cub's and have looked at my airplane, they think the problem is the extension springs used in the tailwheel assembly.
They are both urging me to switch the springs to compression style springs.
Am I the only one who thinks the steering is soft?
I wonder why the factory chose extension springs?
What's the downside to compression springs?
Are compression springs available from the factory?
I am sure there are reasons I don't understand but would like to be educated.
