Greg, I wasn't repudiating your sound advice... Just affirming that I really, really OVERDID IT. In replying to your reply... My hunch is there is little danger of "STICK" in your lap problems. Too many folks are "driving" their steeds on to the runway at the expense of the nosewheel... unless they are previous taildragger pilots. Hmmmm. Could it be that we have more "combo" jockeys than nosewheel only?
