There is no need to go out Lobi, you're posting valid arguments, is just that there are others that believe different.
IMO Tuckie centered the question very well in this post

Well, obviously the speed of wind needed will be high, since plane weights and it's wheels have friction, plane will not rotate except in case of a very strong wind.
This weekend I'll fly a real taildragger again but from a grass field. If there's some wind I'll do the test to see what happens 
Anyway, most of the things we are discussing in this post will be adressed, since Luthier told that the taxiing behaviour will be corrected (I hope, introducing propwash and some more friction to the ground when static). |
