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? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 Ercoupe N94856 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

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. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 Ercoupe N94856 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

But I honestly can't think of any other plane that have yoke-ground-steering, can you, Dudley? 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. -- Dudley Henriques |
