Marty posted the following regarding a Scott tailwheel "My tailwheel sticks or hangs up when turning to the left. When manuevering the aircraft by hand, the wheel just drags across the Tarmac. I have to get under and kick it free. Turns OK to the right."
My Maule tailwheel is doing the same thing, hard to turn to the left and wheel not wanting to turn in the way it is being guided while on the ground. Normally a good, swift kick on the tire will get its intention. Any suggestions?
