	Conventional landing gear - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Conventional landing gear describes an aircraft landing gear configuration with an undercarriage arrangement consisting of two main wheels and a tail wheel.
		In early aircraft, a tail skid made of metal or wood was used.
		In modern aircraft, a small, articulated wheel assembly is attached to the most posterior part of the airframe.

	Brenor Flight Log
		Basically, the tail would much prefer to be in front rather than behind you - meaning that given a chance it will try to swing around in a bit of tail dragger revenge know as a ground loop.
		Apparently tail draggers were invented to punish pilots who think that they are done flying once the plane’s wheels are on the ground.
		Tail draggers are a lot of fun, they are not all that hard to fly (or land for that matter), you just need to give them your full attention.

	Tail Dragger & His Chicago Blues Band : American People - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-21)
		The Tail Dragger, Arkansas born and Chicago based, is pushing 60 but shows no sign of slowing down.
		A "Killin' Floor" type version of Wolf's "Ooh Baby" further examines the Dragger's hero worship of Wolf.
		The title track is destined to be be a time capsule historical novelty, the Dragger singing about the Clinton-Lewinsky affair, taking the President's side, telling people "forgive him, let him do his job." A pretty fine pure blues recording from an underappreciated roots singer in the general scheme of things.

		Maximum width of this tail wheel with fully splayed arms is 9.29 inches and overall height is 15.7 inches.
		The arms and wings of the tail wheel fork assembly are composed of 4130 which is heat treated to a Rockwell 38-43 to ensure strength and are irridited to prevent corrosion.
		The tail wheel base and forks are cast and then fl anodized to prevent corrosion as well.

	The Ground Loop
		Ground looping is usually associated with a tail-dragger type of aircraft (one with a tail wheel) because it has a natural tendency to ground loop.
		Part of its takeoff run is made with its tail elevated, which leaves only the two main landing wheels in contact with the ground.
		Many R/C'ers who are accustomed to flying a plane with a tricycle landing gear, get into the habit of giving their plane's engine an instantaneous burst of full power, then steering the plane down the runway until takeoff speed is reached.

	TRI GEAR VS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-21)
		When landing a tail dragger, if you touch the main gear with any force, the CG causes the TAIL to drop, putting the wing at a higher angle, causing a bounce.
		This is why tail draggers are inherently bouncy on landing.
		On a tail dragger, the CG is behind the main gear.

	Arizona Aviation Tail Wheel Course
		Tail wheel flying is an Arizona Aviation specialty.
		Someone with no previous aviation experience can get their PPL in a tail wheel aircraft in about the same time as if they trained in a tricycle gear airplane.
		Although the FAA does not require any tail wheel training to achieve a pilot license, we feel that the tail wheel training will give any pilot a greater degree of proficiency and skill.

		Tail Dragger was incarcerated in an Illinois prison for 17 months.
		Tail Dragger has one of the most powerful voices in Chicago blues today, and cuts such a dapper and dangerous looking figure he barely needs to sing to convey the blues!

	Tail Dragger: My Head Is Bald: Live at Vern’s Friendly Lounge, Chicago - PopMatters Music Review
		I think it’d be a lot of fun to see Tail Dragger do his weekly show at Vern’s Friendly Lounge, but it’s not that much fun to listen to it on CD.
		Oh, Tail Dragger is an authentic blues man, all right; he studied with Howlin’ Wolf, he’s been playing in Chi forever, he’s authentic as hell.
		And Tail Dragger (James Y. Jones to the government) has that good old everyone’s-pickin’-on-me attitude (titles like “Prison Blues”, “My Woman Is Gone”, and “Tend to Your Business"), and a lot of that intense Wolfian style to his singing, or growling, or whatever you call it.

		Tail Dragger definitely knows how to work a crowd and really played up to the people seated near the stage, one woman in particular who seemed flattered by Tail Dragger's musical intentions.
		Tail Dragger loves to talk between songs; offering the story how a pesky young man kept showing up at his shows wanting to play guitar with Tail Dragger and how he finally gave in, deciding to take the young man under his wing to teach him how to play the blues.

		Two were for the mounting screws and one was for the hole, for the wire that went up directly between the rudder and the vertical stabilizer.
		Next, with the tail wheel bracket on, I bent the wire 45 back (directly at the bracket), and then I made a sideways, squared off "U", large enough to accommodate the wheel.
		Before I cut the main gear, I attached the tail wheel and place the main gear assembly on the plane (with tape) and balanced it accordingly.

	Choosing First Plane
		Some people will tell you that a tail wheel aircraft is the only type you can fly in and out of rough paddocks and strips - and this may have been true at one time, when nose wheel struts were the weak points of some older aircraft designs.
		The 'look' of a tail wheel aircraft has a certain magic to it and, flown well, they are as safe as a tricycle aircraft.
		When deciding on building an aircraft, you may find that it is available in both nose wheel and tail wheel form, but this is relatively unusual.

		But he is more than Wolf lite; the Tail Dragger is his own artist.
		With several guests from the contemporary Chicago blues scene--Rockin' Johnny, Billy Branch, Eddie Shaw, and Jimmy Dawkins among them--his music is solidly contemporary.
		Tail Dragger sings Howling Wolf's "Ooh Baby," and his voice is uncannily like the original.

	Record Review (Detroit Metro Times) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-21)
		According to the liner notes, Tail Dragger got his name from Howlin’ Wolf, who would always comment on the man’s inability to get to a gig on time: "Here he come, draggin’ his tail," Wolf would say.
		The Wolf is long gone, but Tail Dragger is still running late on his gigs.
		Although this recent CD release boasts such modern blues players as fellow Chicagoan Billy Branch, who plays a great harmonica, Tail Dragger prefers to keep his music steeped in the tried-and-true, stripped-bare sounds that put Chicago on the map as one of the country’s premier electric blues locations.

		The Nose Wheel Dragger provides effortless ground handling with a swing gate front roller for easy loading and ten ball bearing rollers which push and guide the nose wheel.

		This powerful gas tug has an extra heavy-duty frame, an extra center bearing for the axle, a longer handle for better leverage, heavy duty 12 -inch air wheels and will move most tail-draggers up to approx.

		Tail Dragger - a holdout from the time when blues giants like Howlin’ Wolf and Magic Sam still ruled on the West Side.
		Even Tail Dragger’s original material, in which he addresses modern-day concerns, is hewn from the same raw materials utilized ‘back in the day’: loosely-swinging rhythms, snaky intertwining guitars, and often as not, a wailing amplified harp player leading the way.

		Taildragger is the term pilots use to describe an airplane with "conventional gear" consisting of small wheel under the tail and the two main wheels up front.
		Taildraggers are more demanding to handle during takeoffs and landings than their trigear counterparts; but it is also why pilots continue to fly them.
		Taildraggers are more challenging to fly and tail dragger pilots consider themselves a cut above their tricycle brethren.

		It was Howlin' Wolf who gave him the "Tail Dragger" moniker (due to his propensity to be a bit late to gigs.) -- before that, he was known as "Crawlin' James."
