Dogsride, more than a grain of truth to that, I own a British built 1936 bipe, free castoring tail wheel, totally ineffective ruder when tail down and 80% of the mass aft of the main gear axels, no main wheel braking unless FULL ruder {and only FULL ruder, is applied, not like a Tiger or Chipmunk with progressive brake steering} So far no ground loops , but we are very conservative when it comes to cross winds, might fit a tail wheel lock this winter coming. These oldies were of course meant to be landed into wind on grass, not black top with a cross wind.
