Carenado 337 pitch problem

Recommended Posts

I'm having pitch control problems with the Carenado 337. At rotation speed it pitches up and no amount of forward pressure on the yoke will force the nose down.

Both engines operating normally, full prop pitch and mixture, autopilot off,

Trim is checked at takeoff setting, 1/2 tank of fuel, cg in limits

Yoke assignment checked, elevator appears to be working in outside view

All other aircraft, including Carenado, are working normally

Any suggestions would be most welcome

Perhaps completely uninstall and then reinstall.  I am seeing none of that.  Then perhaps if not already done, create separate profiles for your flight controls for the 337.  I believe you are seeing related influence from controls.  Its a guess, but an educated guess based on experience.

Just took my C337 for a flight, and it behaved nicely... actually thank you to the OP for reminding me that I own this aircraft..  It is fun to fly!

Cannot duplicate the stated problems... could there be an AP binding that interferes?

The autopilot indicates that it is off, but it does act like it is on. I will check all the bindings on my devices plus any assignments on FSUIPC.

Thanks,

Dale

I checked all my devices, including the keyboard, and could not find a binding issue. I emptied the community folder, deleted the 337, and restarted MSFS. Re-installed the 337. Still having the extreme pitch up problem. All the default and other Carenado aircraft work normally.

Thanks for the suggestions, just haven't found the problem yet.

Are any of the assists active?

Yeah, check no AI assists are on. I've seen someone mention this be the cause before, and they were a bit confused as they don't recall ever enabling the assist. I think it was a trim assist.
