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.

The Ercoupe is incredibly easy to fly -- it was designed by Fred Weick (the
guy who later designed the Cherokee) to be "Everyman's Plane", the plane
that anyone can fly with minimal training after they come back from WWII.


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!
