Hello, another newbie here:

Building a PT-40, and wondering how much the nose gear should rotate under max rudder? I have a clearance issue if more than 15 deg is needed....

Thanks

Hey Neighbor,

Like the rest have said, Not much at all. Taxi test, as long as you can turn around
on the runway that is say, 50 feet wide. You flying off grass ?

Electrics don't usally get taxied at my club, they have to walk out on the runway.
That's a pita for people flying IC engines. My trainer was a trycycle electric and
I always taxied it to and from the runway. I don't fly it anymore, so i'm
looking for a young person to give it to at our club.

Have yall thawed out yet over there?

Bob
