No?
My reading was that their is a repeatable "flight crash" on takeoff from KSTL and the reporter unfortunately described a hard pull back on the stick in the same message. I think it is confusing because the problem happens right at the time that you are reaching your rotation speed and you are very likely to be pulling back on the stick. > Just for the record, full-stick AoA on the currently modelled A-4 really > will cause a tail strike.

In my case at KSTL, I eased back very gently on the stick and my wheels had just come off the ground when the FDM flight-crashed.
