ORIGINAL: twistr Has anyone had any problems taxiing this plane? Mine tends to nose forward while taxiing on grass. Once on the paved runway, all is well. I'm wondering if I need to turn the landing gear around face forward. Not trying to be silly,but "Have you got the undercart the right way round'? I put the undercart reversed on my 40 Pulse by mistake and had to taxi it using full back stick on the elevator to stop nose over,once I reversed it it's perfect. My 60 size Pulse is perfect to taxi,never looks like nosing over,I run a 16" prop without using any back stick on the elevator during taxi or run up. Our field is nothing more than a paddock that we mow the strip into,the horses that live in the paddock always kick divots out of our taxiways and especially the runway,which we have to repair each time we use the strip,so if a plane was going to nose over our field would be the place. We have lots of deer and armadillos that create divots in our grassy areas. The landing gear is mounted according to the book. The holes will only match up one way. I've had two ppl suggest larger wheels to solve the problem, believe that's what'll I'll try before I start redrilling holes to turn the gear around....
