This sounds strange to me. If the nose gear is still hooked to the ailerons, why don't you just steer it down the runway? I don't know about other Coupes, but mine steers very well thank you with the wheel. It sounds like you're trying to ignore that, and just steer it with the rudder pedals. If God had intended a coupe to steer that way, he'd have put the pedals in them. And, as we all know, Coupes were created pure. Later man corrupted them.
