Hi,
Knowing that tailWHEEL is the more correct term for the third-wheel-behind configuration, it got me thinking. If instead of a wheel one reverted to dragging the tail, but used a block of one of those ultra low-friction almost indestructible plastics. Knew the name once, but have forgotten.

How important is it to have a steerable tailwheel?
