Yeah, well none of them were at North Las Vegas today with 30 gust 35 directly
across (it seemed) every taxiway I was on! Actually it was a blessing to get
it off to one side, as my ankles couldn't take any more beating! That was the
slowest I've taxied in 10 years, at 1500+ RPM.

Just an interesting aside, when I was being trained by John Meredith in
ground handling, he showed me that at speeds above about 10 knots you can
maintain directional taxi control using the rudder, with no brake or
steering input at all.
He ended that lesson by saying, "that's why when you go places you see
Commander pilots taxiing like their tails are on fire."

I guess the answer lies in the ego. You taxi with rudders straight. PC's
don't.

Small planes were called piss-cats or papa charlies for short. Sorry, I

Clevelands do make them a trifle more touchy, than the original,don't they.
Even ( especially) on the T-28 I have to be real careful, it is very easy
to flatspot a tyre.
Yes, they do!! In fact, the big Cleveland's, on a hi HP Commanders (560F,
680) will flat spot the tires even on take off. If the pilot allows his feet to
drift up to the brakes late in the take off roll, they will lock the wheels.
The airplane looks like a dragster on take off leaving two smoking tracks!!
Still, they are the most important addition you can make to your Commander. I
truly believe the Cleveland upgrade should be a mandatory AD. jab

Yeah I could see how that would wear you out, Brock! There are occasions

directly across (it seemed) every taxiway I was on! Actually it was a
blessing to get it off to one side, as my ankles couldn't take any more
beating! That was the slowest I've taxied in 10 years, at 1500+ RPM.
