FFF, I'm not disagreeing, but isn't the enhanced tendency to groundloop in a crosswind landing a product of factors including drift, the keel effects of fuselage and fin, and ground friction, all tending to produce yaw which, if uncorrected, will rotate the aircraft?

Evo, you are, as always, too kind. (PS that time at Popham the aircraft really did have a fault in the tailwheel assembly: honest!, but I've done a proper one without any technical assistance)
