ORN 0 Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Hi, have anyone noticed that long after touchdown, after the tailwheel is down and all wheels spinning, the plane is still hovering some inches over the runway? Here's an example: Eagle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted March 24, 2006 Aerosoft Share Posted March 24, 2006 Thnx It's actually a bit of a nasty issue. The aircraft has large low pressure wheels and soft springs to allow landing on less then perfect runways. To get that soft (almost mushy) and springy effect the gear is designed as it is, but you found indeed one of the side effects. At this moment I have no real idea on how to solve that without removing some of the effect I feel is important. I'll have to ask around for that (or anybody here that has some ideas?)
