Hi Xellex,
It occured to me this morning that if you had power steering then there was no real limitation on the amount of caster that you could run. Have you thought about setting it up with say 9-10deg caster? That would provide very stable straight line running together with better loading of the outsde wheel in the turns? Also, I would be expecting better feel to be generated compared with the normal caster setting.
With the weight to the rear and the centre of aerodynamic pressure too close to the centre of the wheelbase, the bug needs all the help it can get to track straight at speed. The higher the speed the worse it gets so with the limitations on the amount of caster that would be acceptable on a manual steering the compromise is in favour of poor high speed stability. With power steering there will be no real practical limitation on how much caster you can dial in.
