Thanks Harry, It's nice to hear someone use a little "Modeling Sense" for a change. Many times I've heard fliers talk about co-ordinating turns, and the plain fact of the matter is: You don't need to! Unless you're flying a huge plane and the adverse yaw is so bad that it's noticeable from the ground and you want your turns to LOOK nicer, or it's SO bad that the plane is unstable in turns, in which case you may just have a bad design on your hands. But it really ticks me off when some "INSTRUCTOR" is trying to impress his student with how knowledgeable he is about flying so he fills the students head with information he doesn't need. I would like to know how many of these people actually co-ordinate THEIR turns.
A few notes back on topic... Bo, did you ever stop to think that what you save in nose gear, you'll spend in props now? But since you've made the change already, keep this in mind... on a tail dragger, you want your main wheels to "toe in" just a little. That is, the wheels should point (very slightly) in toward the nose. This will help reduce a tail dragger's tendency to "Ground Loop" while taxiing.
