JB,
Are you saying that you must start out in a tight circle? I have tried to
taxi N680RR out of my tie down space with negative results, however to get
out of the space you must go straight foreword for about 10 feet before
turning.

I have done it both ways. On one occasion, in a 560F, the left engine died
when I checked the propellers to feather and would not restart. I was able
to turn into the dead engine and return to the ramp. On another event, I
simply "rocked" the airplane back and forth a bit with the brakes and once it
started to move was able to taxi straight ahead. When the engine blew on my
commander, I was able to complete a long taxi back the ramp on one, but of
course had a run at it. The nose wheel steering must be riged correctly so you
can use it without getting into any braking action. If you get brake, even a
little, it won't start moving. jb

I don't think that you can taxi with one engine from a standing start
regardless.
Well got quite a conversation going about taxiing with one engine, but
still have one of the original questions. On a stock Commander, sitting
still, can you turn the nose wheel with just nose wheel steering?

Hi Dennis,
Thanks for the interest! There is only a voltage (24 V) printed on the
shell of these lamps, but they appear to be the same as the LEDtronics
UTL387-026.
I'm getting close to the end of my supply. I may have 20 left, or
possibly a few less. I'll set aside what I have.
Thanks,
Stan

Hi again,
I had no idea that there would be so much interest in these LED lamps
(although they *are* pretty amazing)! Anyway, I've already had enough
people ask me to reserve some for them that I probably have very few
left.
Everyone who has already contacted me about these should confirm with me
the exact number of lamps they each want, then I can get a tally and
know how many will be left over.
If there's enough additional interest I'll try to find more.
Thanks,
Stan
