Subject:      Re: steering wheel question

ALL Vanagons I have every seen have manual steering. Although you could use
the rudder pedals from a Cesna, but then you have to move the throttle up to
the board. But think of the room for gauges and stuff if the steering wheel
were out of the way....
Early Vanagons have proper, bus-size steering wheels. Later Vanagons with
power steering have little car-size steering wheels. Wimps.
