t full input there is no whwre to go in an emergency. You have used up all the down e;levator already... Not a good idea... Also you might tend to wheelbarrow.... With the tail in the correct position, around 73 to 76 inches up the airolane will stay on the ground with the yoke in neutral until you tell it to take off.... Now for the landing. With the tail low, when the wheels touch the ground there will be a tendancy to bounce if you are not careful. With the tail in the correct position, The mains will touch and almost immediately the nose wheel wil go down. The angle of attack is now nearly negative and the airolane stays on the ground. I can land my airplane at virtually any speed and once the nose wheel hits and the airplane goes negative I am done flying. No tendacy to leap back into the air......
The view over the nose is much better at this point also.... The trailing edge of the wing is lower now and the water in the fuel will easier to get at...Raising the tailto design specs has so many advantages I can't figure why evevrbody dosen't do it......This fix has absolutely no effeon the flying qualities of the airplane. It is strictly an avantage on the ground....... I will be happy to answer any questions either here or on E mail... Disadvanages will be having to climb a little getting on the wing. Might need a little more runway on soft or grass fields. SASE will. get you an approaved FAA 337. Bill Coons 162 E. Sunset Lombard, Il. 60148 there are even more advantages.............
