Thanks to all who responded.
I think I've seen enough of both sides of the issue now to conclude that it
is probably not worth the effort (and risk) to design and build my own
castering nose wheel. To build the original design would be a whole lot
simpler, and simpler is, usually, better.

of the big reasons for choosing this design is the stearable nose
wheel. I'm tired of fighting crosswinds while taxiing, or taking off,
with brakes only.
I'm 6'3" tall and will move the pedals as far forward as I can (which the
factory tells me I can do). With that, and maybe thinner pads on the
seats, I expect to be very comfortable.
Happy New Year!
