Why would you make the MAIN gear casterable, or did you mean to say TAIL gear?

Subject: [Jsbsim-users] Taildragger control on ground.

Does anyone know of a JSBSim taildragger in Flightgear that can be controlled on the ground?  I can´t find one.

The nearest I have is a Datcom based FDM for the J3Cub that I am working on, but to make this controllable I have set the main gear casterable! (i.e. <max_steer unit="DEG">360</max_steer>)

This effectively removes the wheel side forces. The result is a bit like a supermarket trolley, but at least it is controllable.
