What is gyroscopic precession and how does it affect flying a Tailwheel aircraft?

In this video I chat through some of the effects that gyroscopic precession has on a tailwheel aeroplane during takeoff and landing!

Particularly during a short field takeoff, gyroscopic precession can pose us some issues and can be one of the factors causing a tailwheel to ground loop.

A groundloop occurs when the tail starts to overtake the nose of an aeroplane during takeoff or landing.

Let me know in the comments what other topics you would like discussed or what other tutorials are of interest!
