Eppy, rally experience notwithstanding, I suggest that you are out of your depth with this one.
Try this with ANY twin that has wing mounted engines. A 737 or an Aztec, no matter what it is.
Park crosswind on a slippery surface. Shut down the engine on the windward side. Now, from a standing start, try to turn at minimum radius (as you may need to do to get into a tight parking spot) downwind.
Let us all know how you get on. Ultimate under steer.....?
PS saying that you can 'slide' an aircraft on the ground in a 'very safe manner' to make a tight turn is utter, utter bollocks. Also, if you have seen 'many others' doing it, there are more mugs out there than I ever imagined. Pilots deliberately doing this are setting themselves up for an excursion into the mud with all the misery of a bent prop or two, or a gear collapse.
