I am doing this testing with zero wind and will only add cross-winds 
when I can control the aircraft.

I like the idea of using cos(beta) so that beta effects are smoothly 
limited.  I believe that  the main gear side forces and the resultant 
yaw motion is unstable , and these are running away. With  taildragger 
these forces are in front of the CG.
