Long-shot I know, but has anyone ever tried using independent braking to steer?
Ali,
That is my next plan of action. I'll make the nose gear completely castoring and then use two proportional brake valves, one for each wheel, mixed with rudder for steering and combined for brake application. In theory it should work, my fear is if one of them locks up, ugly things will happen.
I do find it thoroughly annoying though, that Comp ARF has found a method to make this steering work, as evidenced by the multiple successful flights I have witnessed at CA JETS, and yet Andreas refuses to make the effort to share their method with the rest of us who have invested thousands in his product![:@][:'(]
