DC-3 tail wheel lock

[alb469]

Can someone tell me when it is locked or unlocked. On the throttle quadrant it says "pull" but the lever goes up and down. Which setting is which.

I beleive when the lever is down...it is unlocked. Or you couldtry taxing after either setting.......
Cheers,

Best advice . . . turn ON cockpit tooltips to learn about everything that is operational in the cockpit.  When you place your mouse cursor over the tailwheel knob it will read ON or OFF  :)

alb, youre looking DOWN at the throttle quadrant.  It's not mounted on the dash  So 'pulling' it would mean that it is in the down position... it should be locked when it is in the down position.

Thanks for the info..Its hard enough to taxi the DC3 with the lock off never mind with it on. Will try the suggestions and see what happens.
