Re: steering reversal when taxi-ing

[lyall]

Earlier stuff snipped for brevity.

Hello, Paul,
Oddities persist, though. I recall one taildragger of a fellow simmer that
would reverse-steer until I fooled it into thinking it was a trike...
I still haven't solved the steering sensitivity issue: Usually trikes are
fine, but my Miles M.57 is overly twitchy, I believe because of its relatively
short "wheelbase" and wide track. Several taildraggers are overly dull (even
when cheated to shorten wheelbase, etc).
All in good fun. -- Dennis S, FSEngEd@aol.com

Thanks all.

Too much yaw inertia and not enough rudder authority can kill a tail dragger
that has been configured properly, but there are MANY settings that can kill a
tail dragger. You have to address ALL of them. Shortening wheel base is a bad
idea.
the longer the leverage, the more power to turn although it takes more MOVEMENT
of the wheel to initiate the turn.
