When landing a heavy plank wing with a steerable nosewheel when you let the nose drop and there is substantial weight on the nose wheel then the cams will ensure that you can only control its direction with nosewheel steering. In a severe crosswind this can lead to some deft fiddling with the tiller to keep it straight.
In this case I would have thought that the castoring nosewheel would have been a help rather than a hindrance.
