Some might have thought that a rudder tiller was a euphemism for nose wheel steering below certain airspeeds to compensate for the 7-9 degree efficacy of the actual rudder pedals on the nose wheel gear assembly on aircraft heavier than the teeny tiny range. Others might have noticed that Wilderness Air are delighted with the Cessna 208B which it says, on its own website, is capable of taking off from nearly all strips it services. But the website neglects to tell the tourist what the company uses on the other airstrips it services. Strips which are, presumably, too tough for the Cessna Caravan which was indeed invented pretty much for its launch customer, Fedex, and which just loves the fabulius runways so common to US night freight runs. Only the Russians make a really good bush plane, the Kukuruznik, but the preflight for that machine takes a full half hour and you get your hands oily doing it so that cramps it up a little for the white scarf and goggles brigade.
Toodle pup or do I mean pip?
