I think the main undercarriage on my Pulsar 582 tail-dragger might benefit from being set a bit further forward. At the moment the tail-wheel keeps skipping off the ground during landing even when the stick is right back, so I am concerned that if the brakes were to snatch or if the ground is too soft it could even nose right over.
If any tail-wheel owners could advise the tail-wheel weight they recorded during their latest weighing this would help me to see if I'm worrying unnecessarily.
Many Thanks

Bob
