nose wheel pants

[ansieman]

Anyone have a wheel pant on their nose wheel? I've been considering
it, but saw the following post on the Titan newsgroup:

"(snip).. In flight the nose weel "Pant" acts like another "rudder".
If you take your feet off the rudder pedals, and the wind catches and
throws the nose wheel to one side, the rudder also goes to full
deflection. This leads to a very exciting ride until you can get
your feet back on the rudder pedals. It really is not a problem, but
is something you need to get use to. It doesn't take very long.

Sounds like the wheel pant needs to be designed carefully.
