I agree with you.
But one thing that seems to give recurring problems on tailwheel assemblies is the steering springs themselves. Some look like they came off an old bed. Also the linking chains are often left too sloppy, no wonder steering is hard work !
Soft springs are nbg, you push the pedal and the tailwheel follows in a half-hearted fashion, so then it has to be big dollops of rudder and even some brake to keep control, which is untidy. A new spring kit need only cost £20 tops !
The tailwheel is the hardest worked item on the aircraft and often the most neglected.
