During the trials, we have found out that she is not sometimes willing to turn. It looks like the one or both brakes lost their effectivity temporarily. Usually it happens after few miles or ride, brake drums are relatively hot, but still can hold a hand on it without the problem.
When cold she turns freely and on the spot, so I think it must be connected with the brake pads temperature. However, brakes and linkages are adjusted according to the spec. Certainly it will need some tuning, maybe I should loosen the brakes for one click, to keep them colder. Will see.

Could be as simple as driving technique Petr. Make sure when you are turning that your inputs are short and sharp, on and off in bites rather than long dragged out turns, that way you don’t cook your brakes. Personally on my carrier I had the brake steer commence when the wheel was at 90 deg or ever so slightly over, that stops you dragging shoes when using cam steer.
Did you setup the steering with the correct tools to adjust the linkages ?
