The 109 has strict limits on nosewheel angle, towing can be tricky in a tight hangar when you hit the limits. But the S76 has a fully castoring nosewheel, and it is possible to have it 180 out before retraction - so pilots need to be careful to taxy forward a bit to ensure it is pointing the right way before retraction.
