Bob, I found an additional interesting instruction : from ERCO's original version of the Ercoupe Instruction Manual - reprinted by Univair...Page 13, Cross Wind landings In An Ercoupe : --------" This allows the nose wheel to caster and line up with the direction of motion of the airplane along the ground. Immediately thereafter ease the control wheel forward slowly and roll down the runway. Prompt application of the brakes or setting the brakes on about half way during the glide approach brings the nose down and completes the change in headiing more quickly."
Interestingly how simple it really is, following all principals of physics.... we just try to make it difficult..... Fly Safe - Have Fun Regards, Harry Francis
