Are there bushbaby pilots out there who don't like the castering nose wheel! I think it is great - ideal for turning on a ticky! Why the mod to steerable nosewheel - am I missing something?

Steereable nosewheel is better for training. Comes back to the problem I have now with BUN. The student has total directional control at low airspeed.
