Pete, if you touch down on the mains first and keep the nosewheel off the ground the Ercoupe will turn to the direction it is going (down the runway). The problem comes in when some pilots try to touch down on all three wheels at the same time. Touch down nose high, and you will be amazed. Syd Pete Thomson wrote: I did the landings by the book and darn near damaged the plane, the Coupe does not go straight down the runway after the nosewheel hits the ground, it goes in the direction the plane is facing, in this case 45 degrees to the centerline. Fortunately the runway was 150 feet wide so I was able to take over the steering and just remain on the runway, albeit way over on the side. Had this been a narrow runway I would have been in the brush. ========================================================================== ==== To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm
