Default Tail wheel assembly with 35% yak

I am not sure if this has already been talked about or not. I have a 35% yak that seems to be having a problem with the tail wheel assembly. The assembly will move fine one way but seems to be binding in the opposite direction. I do not see where the guide wire is bent.
Is anyone having this problem??

Thanks,

Alan

Check the pivot points line up with the hinge line or are you referring to a mechanical problem in the tail wheel assembly

What plane, set up? Can you post a picture? I did this on my pilot 35% and its working out great. The assembly the plane came with just didnt hold up very long.

sorry about it being unclear, it is the pilot RC Yak. I don't have a pic. I will try to get one up.

Not sure about the pivot point but I will check it out. To answer your question about the mechanical, the wheel is turning fine.

Thanks for the replies.
