Getting ready to fly one of those Piper PA-22/20 conversions. It is a Colt that got converted to a taildragger. I hear they tend to groundloop easily. Any thoughts or experiences?

If it's like the Vagabond, once it starts to bite, you've got a VERY short window to correct. Don't let it bite.

Don't be afraid to grab a fistful of throttle and go around.
