Sitting on tail

Featured Replies

Seems like everytime I load the A/C it ends up sitting on it's tail. I have changed the payload but the results are the same. Any suggestions?

I haven't bought it yet (waiting for SP1 to fix the reported low cruise speeds and engine management) but I get this problems sometimes when I load up taildraggers first and then nosewheel aircraft 2nd. A quick double tap of the Y button to enter slew mode usually fixes that.

Thanks I tried your suggestion and ended on my nose.

What have you changed the load out to? Are you loading cargo/pax with low fuel?

I remember in the RW watching Martinaire pilots hop out of their Caravans to place a brace under the tail, to help prevent the aircraft from tipping up while loading. You knew when you set it down on that thing (I did every time I crawled in there; I'm not a light weight guy lol). It was always a good idea to move forward till it righted itself, then start loading up. Keep that CG forward! I know Carenado included this brace in the 208; wouldn't it be cool if you needed to "turn-on" the brace before loading? LOL

YES
May want to keep your weight/balance in mind when you do your load eh,Keep the fatties at the front :(

Grab some straps and use those handy anchor points found on the floor, walls and ceiling to keep 'em from moving around too much!Seriously though, if a plane comes standard with a brace to keep the thing from tipping while being loaded, rest assured it's a wee bit easy to unbalance it. Watch that CG and slide the heavy stuff forward, please! :(

Exactly! I have seen the Caravan stand on it's tail more than once! (never my doing though)

I had the same problem after I configured it for AES and hit "repair for push". I reverted back to default and it was fine.
