RE: Nose gear Flexing
Excellent, I think you will find the airplane is far more pleasent to fly during takeoffs and landings and the improvment in your nice perfectly straight takeoffs etc. will be noticble to your flying buds.
Do keep in mind that you will have to plan you turnarounds for taxi backs as you cannot do those acute turns now (which after all is the reason for your prop strikes when traveling to fast).
Now a tip for controling the taxi with any trigeared airplane. Lets say after landing you need to turn back around to return to the pits but the airplane does not seem to respond at all, whats going on?
Most of us after landing or many times at all times tend to hold full up elevator even with zero ground speed if there is any rpm at all from the engine this elevator will be attempting to raise the nose which in turn will reduce the ability of the nosewheel to steer. This effect can be so bad that its even impossible to turn downwind for return. Many times you will need to let go of that elevator or even apply down elevator.
This effect was hammered home with me for several years when I promoted an unusual form of wingless trainer races an we explored many far out landing gear geometrys as long as the airplane remained flyable with the addition of a wing.
