Why is the nose wheel offset
Ok folks I know I should know this and believe I do . I thought the offset was to reduce p-factor during take-off roll. I have some friends that insist it is more for inflight control. I am on the road and have no reference materials with me. Help! I might win sushi dinner. Thanks Dave
