Video: Preflighting

Hi Jason,

Thanks for an informative video - I do have one question. I am a low-time student pilot learning on Cessna 152. The instructors tell us to be careful never to push the rudder too hard as it's connected to the nosewheel steering, and applying too much pressure could damage the cables or connecting rods (since the wheel can't turn when the plane isn't moving). We do check of course that the rudder's cables are securely attached. How does that work on your plane since in the video I see you applying full deflection on the rudder? Why isn't it limited by the inability of the nosewheel to turn?

Also it's against the rules here to put the tested fuel back in the plane - we discard it in cansisters provided along the tarmac. I'm not sure if this is a flight school rule or something more general in Australia - I'll have to check that out.

Cheers,
Jeremy
