Preflight - Controls

Well that was just stupid. This should've gone in the tech help section.
I'll repost there. Can the admin delete this thread in this forum?
Thanks

Hi All,
When checking that controls are free and correct as is normal for all airplanes,
what is the best method for the Ercoupe? Mine has rudder pedals, but the yoke it still connected to the nosewheel, so the way I check the ailerons is to do 'S' turns while I taxi.

Does anyone else do it differently or have another method?

Thanks
