Taxi looks like a tail wheel aircraft rather than a nose wheel,
because of the breaking system and the fact that the nose
wheel is castering not directly linked. The first time (and for
several more times) you're going to be weaving all over the
taxiway, much like the first time in a tail wheel.

All in all the L-29 is perhaps the best military trainer in the
history of the Warsaw Pact and even the entire world, but then
our experience has made us a little bias..
