Hello Neville

Sorry to bother you with this question, figured would get an easy answer from 
the
group.

NOT!

Curious

When taxing a monowheel with a 20 knot quartering tailwind, lets say from the 
left,
do
you keep the elevator full forward and the stick full deflected to the right?

This is conventional tailwheel practice. Since the Europa has outriggers, for 
all
I know
dragging the downwind outrigger does more good in keeping things straight than
trying to
keep the upwind wing down?

As far as the elevator, for all i know perhaps the huge prop spinning puts flow
---From front
to back instead of back to front?

I honest don't know, but my guess is full forward and full to the right.

Thx.
Sincerely
Ron Parigoris
