( we have a road that has become " single file for cars after they took half the road for cyclists). spacesailor

  23. It took longer than I thought it should have, learning to " push " the rudder, instead of turning with a ' front-wheel ' steering " boxcar " . I see a " trike " has the " boxcar " steering . Followed by " weight-shift " steering when airborne. spacesailor
  24. It is , a nose wheel ( for training ) . And can be easily modified to a ' tailwheel ' at a time the owner is confident in their flying abilities. spacesailor
