My post was directed primarily at "nose draggers" that use brakes to
steer and may be dragging a brake at near liftoff speed to maintain
directional control. I've never flown a nose dragger with a castoring
nose wheel so I have no idea the brake usage needed. Like you i never
use brakes for directional control and only limited use at the end of a
landing roll.
After a short 60 mile flight to an EAA chapter grass strip and then a 25
mile flight to another airport for some Gumbo I've decided that I'm not
ready to give up the KR just yet for a low and slow. Given the fact
that I can't afford to house, feed, saddle, and ride two horses I'll be
putting the Challenger project up for sale sometime soon. I'm not sure
I'm allowed the "KR grin" flying a Challenger anyway.
