a) When from the cockpit, the prop turns clockwise, the nose will pull left when power is added.
b) When lifting the tail the nose pulls left or right?
With FULL power for take off, you WILL have a boot of right rudder in.
4 factors play here:
- The P factor from lowering the nose (or lifting the tail) name it as you like.
- The friction of the tailwheel on the grass/asfalt
- The propwash/windforce on the rudder
- The speed you have when you nose over to level position (raise the tail)
At very low speed, the tailwheel does most of the steering, but as speed increases, the rudder does most of the work.
In an ideal situation, you raise the tail at the exact speed that the rudder takes over from the tailwheel, hereby NOT requiring, a rudder correction when you raise the tail.
Remember the "old and heavy tailwheel airplanes.
When lined up with the runway => LOCK the tailwheel.
Keep the tail on the ground and let the tailwheel keep things inline. (With right rudder and aileron for the propwash )
Lift the tail only when you "feel" the rudder response take over from the locked tailwheel.
Or:
Lift off in 3 point, level off a few feet from the ground and let the speed build up to best climb. => Gear, Flaps, and up it goes.
