Have also run rear wheel steering and to say "rear wheel steering is a
headache" is an understatement. With a 2M 'puter I guess it works OK.
Although I understand Andy was glad to be finished with it. Mechanically
it's a nightmare to drive. Looks good on paper, but don't seem to work no
mater what settings you go with.
