September 14, 20205 yr I imagine this is a problem for everyone. If you pull back on the yoke and apply power, the nose lifts off the ground. Even if you are only doing 5 knots. i9-10900k * 64GB 3600MHz Ram * RTX 3090 running 3 75" 4k displays smoothly. Full 737 MAX enclosed cockpit from FDS
September 14, 20205 yr Pull back just enough and ride it. In real life one model 172 sometime differ from another. I don't know don't know why technically why! But when I instructed in "R" model I would pull back all way aft and kept it like that until nose wheel came up without problem. My first demonstration of soft field in "N" model with the same technique ended up really quickly with tail strike and bending "tail hook" .Go figure what is the difference R is derated 180 hp and max 30 degrees flaps, "N" is pure 160 hp and max 40 degrees flaps! May elevator authority a bit different, or they were rigged differently.. I don't know up to this date! Life time flight sim enthusiast, current airplane owner 172P (past C182F).

So yeah something is wrong.
