If they are too close to the center of gravity of the plane, the nose gear won't be firmly enough on the ground. By moving them forward (-50,1 or so), the plane will actually tilt on it's tail (try it for fun), so by moving them backwards (-60.1) the weight on the nose gear will increase and make better contact with the ground. Try experimenting untill the turns make sense.Have fun!Paul@ehgg

Paul, I have had aircraft fall back on their tail on many occasions in the past when I've changed the figures too much! If in this case I put the nose down any further the wheels will disppear under the tarmac!I tried just cutting digits of the MOI value - doesn't seem to make any difference at all I'm afraid.I think it's right that there is not much I can do about this. Once I choose the plane for a flight and realise I've got a 'rogue', I can compensate..Martin
