Excellent points in #5 shussey. Congratulations on your solo, a great feeling I know.

Flying is tough enough that you don't need to fight the plane while on the ground. Far too many young pilots have their nose steering far too sensitive and end up darting back and forth across the runway. I guess they think they are on a road race track or something. Perhaps a carryover from rc cars/trucks in their pasts. I typically set my nosewheel up so I can just barely make a U-turn on the runway if I use the entire width. What more do you need? OK, I lied. I have dual rates on my rudder but I have low rate set up like that for takeoff
