It does seem easy to sink the tail cone into the ground if you have much of a flare going on (just tried at K-SFO). In fact it's seemed easy to get it sitting stopped on the tail and needed a burst of power to shift it forward (although I was on Nimitz at that time, so perhaps helped). Perhaps weighted a bit aft c-of-g? But not having flown in a real 172 I can't comment if it's accurate, perhaps mr Cessna thought replacing tails would be good recurring income ;-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
