KR> light stick forces

2010-01-20 Thread J M
I am just curious. Has anyone ever flown a plane that has lighter stick forces than a KR, fly by wire does not count??? The 1940 Bellanca with a stick (14-12 I think) had very light forces. A friend of mine who had flown in the Battle of Briton and later with the US Navy in the Pacific

KR> nose wheel shimmy

2009-04-25 Thread J M
In the late fifties some Ercoupes would experience a shudder during take off or landing (I don't remember which) and the quick cure was to reduce the nose wheel tire pressure about five pounds which set the pressure to about 20 psi. I don't think that they ever shuddered like the one in
