 |
|
In my many years with castering nose wheels on Grummans, Glasairs, and
Glastars, I have found that the only penalty for getting the nut too tight
on the Bellevue washers is that it is hard to turn while slow taxiing. The
penalty for too loose is to destroy the nose wheel pant and possibly destroy
the nose gear mountings if you get shimmy on take off and landing.
Do not be afraid to get the torque up to the next hole after you have
achieved the required breakout force. The downside is so slight. It is my
opinion if you can turn the nose wheel with the prop, you are either very
strong or have your breakout force too low.

I opt for Very Strong.
Also of note the -10 is a lot heavier than the aircraft you mentioned. A
little nudge while rolling can easily shift the nose wheel in the
desired direction. But again I am exceptionally strong. I mean
freakishly strong. All I have to do is pull back on the control stick
and I can lift the entire plane off the runway.

runway?....Funny stuff!!
