The tail landing gear is provided with turnable tail wheel (80 x 30 mm for the TsT-10 and 14 and 120 x 30 mm for the TsT-13). For the TST-14, the tail wheel is used only for ground manipulation (without a pilot seated inside). With a pilot, the CG is between the main and front wheels. The TST-14 is still very maneuverable with a pilot in the aircraft due to the large rudder area and the fact that the propellor prop blast strikes this rudder area.
