Landing Gear(bounced landings)
Posted: Fri Feb 17, 2012 5:57 pm
Ok my CG is 10.99 I have lots of elevator travel my elevator cables are tight. I love flying this thing It climbs like crazy cruises real nice looks great its the belle of the airport. When I take an instructor along I have to wrestle the controls away from him so I can fly. But acceptable landings are a rare thing. I am not ready to blame it all on lack of pilot skill or experience. I am blessed with several high time taildragger pilots at my airport and I have as many solutions as pilots. I am considering that there is to much elevator sensitivity which causes me to overcontrol on rotation the solution may be to shorten elevator control horns. Meanwhile I will focus on my technique and try to slow my rate of rotation. Signing out and heading for the airport. Bob Yarnell
