Default RE: steerable nosewheel

Not hooking up the Nose wheel would be a BIG mistake. [&o]

On take off and landing there are lots of minor corrections needed to hold an AC strait for a smooth run.

Taxiing around Brandon may not seem to be a priority but "Controlling" your AC as you apply full power is!! [:@]

A tiny bump in the field, the way that the grass was cut - all can influence the ground handling of the AC, then there is the safety issue of controlling the AC if something or someone suddenly gets in your way...

It will cost pennies to hook up the steerable nose wheel, it could cost you MUCH MORE not too. [:'(] []

Why would you even consider not conncting it up?? []
