Locked rear wheels will quickly overtake a free rolling nose

Thanks Demon,

Fact: Locked rear wheels will quickly overtake a free rolling nose wheel (especially on grass and even more so on wet grass).

This is a serious issue, it caused this accident and potentially Mauritz's, resulting in very serious injuries.

Morph, Tumbleweed was not been nasty, he is also a "box", hence his new name, "Tumbleweed". He also has GT, big feet and expensive lesson learned.

Apoligies.

Sorry about the my post here seeming abrupt and cold. Thought as the topic was posted in 'Hangar Talk' and the poor victim was a arme pom, the intention was to chirp, stirr and debate adding more insight without being too sensitive to recent incidents.

Seemingly, this is when my forum 'restriction' disallowed me access and I could'nt quantify myself until now.
