Good. I should have added a warning that most of these aircraft will be steerable by
the nose or tail wheel.

So, you think pimping a model airplane show in Northern Virginia is
going to generate a lot of interest here among those who live in the
general area? Let's see...our Virginia posters consist of...you. Our
D.C. posters consist of...no one. Our Maryland posters consist of...me,
and I have no interest in toy planes. Maybe Tim will drive over from SW
Illinois...

Are you taking a jibe at real planes, most of which are not nose wheel
steerable?

My advice is to give it up.

At least as much as pimping clam pizza (yuck) from a place no one in his
right mind would want to visit. Right Suzy?

I think most do have nosewheel steering, unless they're tail-draggers.

Of course, these guys may not know what they're talking about.

http://www.airliners.net/aviation-fo...d.main/244971/

Small GA aircraft and military fighters use rudder pedals for the entirety of their
steering, the vast majority having nosewheel steering as well as differential brakes
available for taxi.

Larger transport category aircraft will use their nosewheel steering through the
tiller, it could be a nice wheel or lever on the Captain's side, even down to a
rudimentary little bar like on the Shorts 360.
