Default RE: Turning radius lesson....

True. I came to hate trike LG setups. If you lay into the rudder at the end of a roll our, your three points of contact with the runway usually end up being a wing tip, the nose wheel and a prop that is reducing in diameter.

I finally sat up my last nose gear for a maximum of 5 degrees either side of straight. I could do a U turn in about 25 ft with it.

After my crash, I went to a tail drager and have never looked back.
