My Lancair, and I believe all Lancairs, have the free castoring nosewheel. Directional control is really not difficult using rudder alone with any speed above a slow taxi. One recommendation I have seen advocated on the Lancair forum is to test the brakes prior to touchdown. Doing this may...

Setting aside the legality, those boxes are pretty easy to open up and used good boards are readily available cheap on fleabay.

I thought I knew what night was but these days we might not know how to identify things we thought we could identify in simpler times. The approach to my field 0A9, https://www.airnav.com/depart http://aeronav.faa.gov/d-tpp/2405/09816R6.PDF is NA at night. I've found about 3 different...
