 To add to George’s excellent list.



 Another thing you might want to try:



 When taxi testing on the runway or on a clear taxi way, get the speed 

 up enough to raise the nose wheel. You can do that at a little less 

 than 30 mph. then try taxiing down the runway with the nose wheel off 

 the ground, controlling the direction with rudder. My buddy could taxi 

 the full mile of the runway where we doing our first flight with the 

 nose wheel off the ground. He is better at landing the 701 pilot than 

 me too. I could get the nose wheel up but the awkward rudder pedals 

 gave me trouble.



 It’s sort of like the tail wheel pilot who can taxi with the tail 

 wheel off the ground. Takes practice….



 Good luck,
