• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

With these settings, it doesn't like pushing back, it goes all of a tremble for about 1 minute, then throws itself on its back and buries itself in the tarmac. dead.

It's not quite that bad for me. I have too firewall it to get down the runway before it beats itself to pieces. Someone stashed a good batch of high-bred mexican jumping beans in the plane somewhere!!!:jump::jump::jump:......:jump::jump:
 
Thanks for the input fellows. I moved the empty weight CoG forward and up, let ACM redial the pitch/roll/yaw MOI's, and then twiddled around with almost everything else that was thrown out of wack by the first adjustment. Magic number for full flap descent seems to be 33-34 knots, elevators hard up, pitch controled with throttle. Any less airspeed, you get out-voted by gravity. You may wish to fiddle around with less than full fuel load, and see what numbers are generated, I haven't had time to get to that...

LoL...and it doesn't explode on pushback anymore.

Let's see how this version works.
