When the compression is zero (unloaded) you stop the > spin. ..2 schools of philosophy here: one is leave the wheels spinning to avoid nosing over on touchdown with frozen stuck brakes, handy for fixed gear taildraggers, the other is smooth application of brakes to avoid the retraction chirp or worse up the wheel well. ..then of course we have the crazy Cub stunts. ;-) ..we need to check with pilots and handbooks for RL data, I believe most people leave the wheels in the breeze 'till they stop, in the winter. -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;-) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
