| Subject: | Re: 701 TIPS ONTO TAIL |
You may want to re-check your weight and balance. The only way I can get my
tail to "stick" is with empty fuel and full baggage load (like you did).
As soon as I add a person the CG will not allow that to happen. Adding
enough fuel to fly centers it even more.
Good luck!

=0A=0ALikewise I have no W&B issues with my 701.- To be tail heavy I woul
d have to overload the baggage bay.=0A=0ARoss, you might want to make sure
your main gear is not flopping around as this could cause you ground CofG t
o shift on you and allow the tail to hit the ground.=0A=0ADoug M=0ACH-701
