Default RE: ROO c.g.

Well, I only use the wheel brakes on down elevator, and never had a problem... the only thing that
I avoid is to use the brakes when the nose wheel is still above ground. But if you put the
brake in a slider or a switch it will work fine too.

Anyway, in a good roo landing the airspeed is so low that you will not need to use the brakes at all...

******************

grass is easy



300 flights on the Roo with down elevator brakes and I have yet to see the mains lift, nor on any of the other 1200 turbine flights with my other airplanes. And I do fly in heavy winds in the desert. Land on speed

****************

oh they are lifting.....

and your 1200 turbine flights with other planes is mute....as i assume they were not all delta..duh...airframes do wear out if you can keep them up for 400 flights

and heavy winds...well no shi$....nothing like a 17 mph head wind to slow you down


you guys are cracking me up
