Default Steering...

For a trike gear plane check how much the steering wheel moves when you give full left and right. The wheel only needs to move about 1/4" from centre for good steering response. If it is much more than that, reduce the movement by moving the control rod further out on the control arm of the steering wheel. MAke sure that the wheel is straight when the rudder trim is at neautral position. It may take a wider turn to turn around at slow speeds but the takeoff run will be much easier.
