I have taxied many aircraft types on slippery surfaces but never a nosewheel RV.
So my question is, with brakes for steering, how hard is it to taxi on wet snow or ice (assuming that wind is not a factor)? Will the aircraft turn at 90 degree taxiway corners? Problems with snow in wheelpants??
Usually the snow around here only lasts 3 - 4 days and then is gone, today about 4" of wet snow and our hangar taxiway does not get plowed.
