I managed to get down the field on Friday to test the effectiveness of the toe-in in preventing, or reducing, the tendency for this model to ground loop on take off and landing.

On release the model ran true with no sign of a ground loop a slight curve to the left was corrected easily with a touch of right rudder. Landings were also straight.

In future I will always incorporate 3º of toe-in for a tail dragger.
