TF,
You just couldnt resist showing off that propeller !
LOL

No, I couldn't.
My friend Johnny Snead came over the other day to have me drill his 3 blade Biela prop. When I saw it I whined about how much I liked it until he felt so guilty he let me have it.
True friends respond favorably to whining, thanks Johnny!
About ground handling, the Hellcat also has a steerable/retractable tailwheel assembly. I made a double pull-pull, the outer pair of wires go to the rudder and the inner pair go to the tailwheel. The plane handles great on the ground and there's no problem making it go straight on takeoff with just tiny rudder inputs.
