@XXXGhostGrenadeXXX weird you say?? the king air is one of the most sucussfull turboprop aircraft in the history of aviation. go to most airports world wide and chances are you'll see one. maybe its you who dosent know anything. stop picking on people on youtube trying to make yourself look better!
@captainmacleish It's a 200 operating as an air ambulance. It is as standard outside (no Raisbeck mods) and I believe using the P&W PT6A-42 engine. I sound quite sad now haha, but unfortunately can answer most questions on these aircraft :)
King Air's are one of the most common Turboprops's in Africa.especially in Kenya,Along with the Cessna caravan,DHC twin otters,Dash 8's and Fokker 50's.Long Live the PT6A's.Love this plane.
The rudder and nose wheel are controlled simultaneously with the rudder peddles. The pilot was steering the plane down the center line with the nose wheel....even the big jets do this and it looks like the pilot is playing with the rudder. I have friends on the ground and sometimes they ask me if I am having problems.
Yeah, I know how everything works. He just looked like he cared a little bit too much on keeping that nose wheel on center line. Could have been windy, but it didn't look or sound like it.
@RippedWookie there is another factor I think it is the difference between the traction of both engines, common to all multi engine aircrafts this is why (I think) beofre getting the relative wind strong enough and/or the engines stabalized you play a lot with the rudder.
@RippedWookie On the King Airs, the nosewheel steering is provided through a bungeed linkage that allows play (too much in my opinion). Advancing the power in most takeoffs will almost always cause a torque split enough to throw you significantly off centerline. If you don't correct for this, you will find yourself in the ditch fairly quickly. Since the steering linkage is not entirely direct like the rudder cables, the nosewheel is not moving as nearly as much as the rudder shows it to be.
I fly for Cega and fly that plane all the time...it now has a new paint job and the raisbeck conversion...its a beautiful plane and couldn't ever imagine a better job...thanks for the videos...awesome stuff!
At 0:20 is the best Turbo Prop sound ever!

@LilSkeezy27 i believe beechcraft rudders are often very sensitive.

@davidicusb They sure are, as is the nose wheel steering which is just a direct mechanical linkage from the pedals.
