I see. Yesterday I took several YASim aircraft for a test and noticed
that the effect _I_ mean is indeed unique to the b1900d. There's an
'indicator' that you can easily reproduce during take-off:
When you accelerate with the elevator pulled back to the maximum,
almost every aircraft I know (from real or simulation) rotates early,
stays level and gets into the air after a while. The b1900d will never
lift both main wheels from the ground but instead will tumble to the
left or right, absolutely uncontrollable. If you try to correct the
bank using the ailerons it will tumble to the other side but you won't
manage to hold it level (unless you push the elevator).
I don't think this would happen with the real aircraft and I think as
well that the cause for this behaviour is the same that makes stall
recovery with the b1900d so difficult.
Cheers,
Martin.
