Touchdown! Greaser!
Almost all of my 100+ hrs are in a PA-28-161.
Yesterday, I did a check-out flight with my CFI in a 172 (FBO requires a check-out before I'm able to rent something different).
I've flown the 172 a couple of times before (with my CFI) and know there are differences between the Piper and Cessna steering.
Just what are they?
Seems that (on the Piper) there is a hard link between the pedals/nosegear/rudder. The Cessna feels like there is little, if any, connection between the nosewheel and anything else.
I think I've asked this question before, but I didn't really try to follow through.
