Well yes, I can understand that if the turn is in the direction where prop
wash hits the fin, but would not expect it to work both ways.  Taxied about
 in G-EMIN for the first time today.  Very surprised to find  I was not
really aware of the outriggers. But this was on grass and perhaps they would
be more obvious on hard surfaces. Braking didn't seem to good, but maybe some
air yet to be removed.   Condensation on the windscreen was horrendous, but
we have the famous Forth "haar" at the moment (50m vis and 100% humidity),
and the heavy breathing wouldn't help either !
