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?

Google the "General Skyfarer". Or check this link out:

Cool! Basically a high-wing Ercoupe. It was even developed at the same
time (circa 1941)...and ended up being owned by a company in Lemars, Iowa,
of all places.

Thanks for that, Jim. Amazing what you can find on the internet.

I'll tell you the truth. I think the final count for me for types flown
was around 50. I have never flown anything, even experimental and
prototype single engine that steered on the ground with a yoke except
the Coupe.
Some of the big jets use a small "tiller wheel" within specific
parameters for taxiing but aside from one flight I made in a DC8 as a
guest of the airline's chief pilot (actually managed the approach and
landing at Fairbanks without bending it :-) the Ercoupe was the only one.
