No. Recall, I have an AB (Scott) tailwheel now and that has slack. I had never made the Matco tight as its design requires. At the time, I had every intention of going the route I have now anyhow (T3 with the AB tailwheel) so I jumped off the Matco immediately and ordered my new setup that day after nearly groundlooping. I only discovered that I had set them up wrong when I went to Airventure and spoke with the Matco folks there two months later.
