Does anyone know of or can think of any reason why
I should not perform some taxi testing without wings or canard in place. I
would like to trailer my 173 to the airport to run some taxi testing to record
data on my cooling system, but do not want to install the wings and canard since
I will be bringing it back home after the test. I do realize that rudder
authority would be a poor, so this would only be done on a calm
day.
Thanks,
Joe
