I am a huge fan of the Oakley Holbrooks! Awesome flying glasses - for me at least.

The castoring nose wheel is very easy to steer if you do not ride the brakes. The wheel will respond to the smallest brake inputs so just lightly tap them to go straight. The key is to control taxi speed...keep the RPM as close to 1000 and below as you can. On your takeoff roll use rudder only, do not tap the brakes to correct steering. This requires applying the throttle slowly enough to keep the torque down, yet allow enough prop wash to enable the use of the rudder to stay straight.

I can come up with a few things that could be helpful. Have you found any progress with your taxiing?

I have close to 100 hrs in my SR22 and taxiing is still my only issue

@@viewerad As you sit in the left seat there is a large knob on the front of the console on the right side. It is used to set the tension of the throttle and mixture control. You should set that friction so the throttle is moves freely yet stays where you position it. Before taxiing make sure your flaps are at zero. And make sure your heels are on the floor and your toes are able to just tap the tops of the pedals (the brakes). Don't suspend your feet on the pedals. You should rev the engine enough to get the plane rolling then pull it back so your RPM is about 1000 to 1100 or so, that rate of roll is about right (add less on an incline, more on a hill). Think of your brakes as a steering wheel, tap left and you go left, tap right and you go right, but only TAP, do not press hard, feather the brakes, don't stand on them. When you want to spin around simply pull the throttle back while you tap and hold one side or the other. And if you slow too much to make the turn add a little throttle but keep your foot lightly on the brake in the direction of turn. Go out into an open ramp area and practice it for a while till you can do it all without thinking. Then you are ready for the takeoff roll where you DO NOT USE THE BRAKES, but instead push the bottom of the pedals and use rudder only to keep the plane aligned. That maneuver should be the most difficult but it is critical to get that skill if you want to save your brakes. Same applies to the landing roll, once on the runway do not stand on the brakes, only tap and feather them and keep your flaps down full until you get to a manageable roll before exiting the runway. Never force the plane off the runway, the nosegear won't take it. The final tip? Keep your tires inflated, check them monthly.

@@speedomars Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to write all that. It has been frustrating I have to admit. While trying to maintain a straight line during taxi my plane always tends to turn so my option is to apply opposite braking and you can imagine what happens next. Regarding the throttle movement, I don't have an issue with that. However, you did get me thinking about how much power I'm applying and maybe I'm going much more above 1000 rpm for taxi. I'm going to copy/paste your text into my notes and will give your tips a shot. Thank you again

I will definitely work on getting some of this over to you. Awesome you are building a sim - it is so good! I am a big fan of simulators myself too!

That sounds like so much fun!

True! There is definitely muscle memory behind that. I notice it when flying an SR22 and SR22T.
