I agree that nose wheel coulped solid to the rudder is a bent nose gear waiting to happen. I'm thinking of using springs for coupling mine.

I guess my worry is that if there was enough yaw then the nose wheel could be pointed far to the other side and cause a hard steering action when the nose wheel lands.
