In any of the Cessna 182/206/207/210 there is a lot of weight on that nosewheel and in turn easy to buckle a firewall and or a prop strike.

Yet pilots still persist in taxiing with the control column fully forward on high wing Cessnas. They drive the nose into the apron in a turn.

There was a time when you would never see this. I see pilots on the take off roll with the control column firewalled.

This is in nil wind cond's.

Sign of the times.
