Default RE: front wheel question..... what is this?

"To much and you will find it hard to taxi without nosing over. "

.....and this is going to be different how? Only "I" can crash a plane BEFORE flying it!

(as a side-bar: my father-in-law came in a little "hot" in a low wing Piper -"real" plane, not RC- one afternoon during his early flight training (he's a licensed private pilot now) and "bounced" a little on landing......the nose dipped and he banged the prop RIGHT off the runway! [:@]OUCH!!!![:@] It was a "four figure" pricetag landing! You think breaking a prop on YOUR plane stinks, try it on a REAL plane [:@] they cost a little more than $2.59.......and that's not even mentioning the fact of having to rework, check, and re-certify the ENTIRE engine !)

Rodney, Now that I have an idea of WHAT that cross bar is, I just found a hole in the firewall where this was done. THANKS! I wondered what that little hole was for....
