Default RE: Nosewheel set-up

timo-
Sorry but I gotta put my 2 cents into this one- Less is not always a good thing on nosewheel steering. If your rudder is moving way more than your steering you might have to make small correction at a high speed just before take off...If your rudder is at a high deflection andgle even though you are only making a slight turn, you could end up doing a cartwheel after you takeoff.
In my opinion try to get as much as you can or try to mach the rudder..which aint possible on a 3d plane. That way the feel of your rudder transitions smoothly from the ground to the air. Works for me... BW
