Good grief.

This, again.

There is NO REASON why Vmca or Vmcg should be a higher speed. Either is possible; we have aircraft built and certified to the exact same regulations which have one higher sometimes, or the other.

The aerodynamic condition of the aircraft is different; rudder power at alpha ~0 on the ground can be VERY different to that at high AoAs and low speeds in flight.
