news ![]() Agreed. Are there any other aircraft that you can steer on the ground with the yoke? Just about every airplane use for primary instruction when taxied for the first time by a new student (until the instructor shows them how to use their feet :-)))) ROTFL! For sure... But I honestly can't think of any other plane that have yoke-ground-steering, can you, Dudley? There were loads of them, all designed for fjukkwits. Like you. Bertie |

To achieve this he made it as automotive as possible, with the yoke working as a steering wheel on the ground, and the rudder pedals eliminated completely. (The rudders are interconnected with the ailerons, and work remarkably well at keeping the ball centered.) So why didn't it catch on? In _Stick and Rudder_ Wolfgang regularly sings its praises, without actually naming it. He actually does mention it a couple of times; it is what first gave me the thought of getting one. I hate steering with my feet! |
