Tailwheel lock toggle

[RedTeck]

Not a critical issue, but would love to be able to assign a key and not have to keep the stick back for taxiing to the rearm pad. I don't imagine it would be very difficult to implement either.

Wait, what?  I've never had that problem before.  Of course I don't try to get to the rearm pad with a firewalled throttle.

Land closer to the re-arm pad and you won't feel the need to taxi there at 60mph.

Why most fighters had stick actuated tailwheel locks.

I know the P-51 did.  Which others?

[RedTeck]

The reason i said "Not a critical issue" is that I can live without it, but I WISH we had it. Since this is a wishlist and everything .

At this point in history I would assume most fighter aircraft's tailwheel lock were manually actuated by the pilot on stick.

I know the P-47 had it down near the pilots right calf, mounted on the cockpit side.

The P38 didn't have a tailwheel lock, I don't know what you're talking about.

Sure would be useful on some planes. RV-8 comes to mind....
