I thought about a castered NW too but  instead rigged up a simple NWS 

disconnect system...took about 3 hours. When  I went out and flew the 

thing and disconnected the NW from the rudder pedals  the plane 

started yawing to beat hell. Even stifflegging the rudders didn't  

stop it. I reconnected and it settled down immediatey. Well, what I  

didn't think about was all that rudder area forward of the hinge 

line. I  think that causes the rudder to naturally "hunt" all over the 

place...unless  hooked to some sort of damper-the nosewheel. If it was 

an all trailing  rudder I think it would work fine. I removed the 

disconnect stuff, tweaked  the rudder trim til it was rigged perfect 

and got used to it and am ok with  it as designed now.
