Never flown a Tailwheel, your logic makes sense however if you left the stick in the aft position into a 38kt wind, and for one reason or another you did not tie the tail wheel down immediately or the wings for that matter, the slats open (which you may have forgotten to lock) due to the AOA being close to the critical angle and before you know it............

Are we forgetting the tiger is tied down and the tail will never let the wings exceed 16 degrees
ps stick hard back = stall

pps Stall = loss of lift
Interesting logic you apply! from memory with the slats open the ole moth can get close to 23 degrees nose up before a stall............whats the AOA on the ground?

Having said all that, never flown a tail dragger so Ill leave you to it!
