Hi Gerry,
Your advise is straight from the book, so to speak, but it is inconsistent
If you taxi at walking speed, your rudder will have no detectable effect
on directional control. My rudder begins to be useful only over speeds
of 12kts. I can't even run that fast ;-)
Be save!

Ira Hi!
You are right. On reflection the required taxi speed is a little faster than walking
pace. I erred on the side of a slower description speed in case it was envisioned
that you were needing to use lots of power and racing around. The action
becomes second nature very quickly.
As for YOUR running speed.... I'm glad it's slow. That means you are not chasing
your dinner or being chased as an intended dinner! No other reason to run anywhere!!
Regards
Gerry
