Amdec,
There is rarely a requirement for a large amplitude pedal input during turns. There is a large turning moment due to the length of the tail, and with the nosewheel unlocked, the aircraft should turn quite easily on level ground, especially if you have just a little bit of forward speed. What I have found when teaching pilots new to this type (especially thoses who have flown Russian machines previously), is that whenever they turn, even taxying gently at 1-2 knots, they always push unnecessary into-turn cyclic, which will induce an unnecessary main rotor mast moment.
