VW Air-cooled Beetle test run to Kasai City


Because of a fine day today, I went out for a test drive for VW Air-cooled Beetle 1302 running 150 km distance in total including half high way run. Wheel alignment for her had been accomplished especially on Thrust angle yesterday, I wanted to to know the result. The destination   was Uzurano Air- Field situated at Kasai city in Hyogo prefecture.
The place has so sad history as to remind me of last WW2, not a few suicide military airplanes had took off there and the young pilot never returned. They were victims to continue next generation, naturally I gathered together in front of the Memorial Monument.
The place exists near the Hokkeguchi station on Hojo Railroad and Old temple is near the place showing the way. I make it a rule to visit the place twice a year in order to purify my heart remembering the past, over 70 years ago.
The result of the test driving was favorable at all including high way run. Only a little steering adjustment was required to keep the straight direction and turning phase is very natural on both side. The center fixation phenomena appears once Thrust is removed, vulnerability of steering gear box mounting has very little to do.
